It's about putting in more than you are taking out.

We care deeply about the health of the natural world and the preservation of our rural heritage. By acting more sustainably, Pomfret is committed to protecting The Last Green Valley for generations to come.

Energy & Buildings

At Pomfret we utilize “trigeneration” technology to produce power, heat, and coolant simultaneously. Thanks to this smarter system, we now generate enough homegrown electricity to cover about 50 percent of our power needs, and 100 percent of our heating and cooling needs. Because we are committed to significantly reducing our carbon emissions, we also switched from oil to natural gas — a much cleaner and more efficient fuel.

 

Food & Farms

Pomfret is home to three buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. This honor has been designated by the Secretary of the Interior because these building possess “exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States.” We take great pride in preserving these architectural gems on behalf of the larger community.

Wildlife & Habitat

Our manicured campus is bounded by several hundred acres of open space. This wilder side of Pomfret includes hilltop meadows, forest uplands, low-lying wetlands, and a river, which are home to a plethora of bird, mammal, reptile, and amphibian species. Because our property abuts several larger parcels of conservation land, these holdings serve as a key wildlife corridor for large animals and migratory bird species
