The Church Farm is a historic former farm at 396 Mansfield Road in Ashford, Connecticut. The farm complex includes a hip-roofed Federal style house, built in 1821, but with a c. 1791 ell attached, and a c. 1930 Colonial Revival front portico. Outbuildings include an 1895 barn, and an old woodshed and privy of uncertain age. The house is a remarkably elegant Federal structure for a relatively remote rural location, and reflects trends in agriculture including its construction by Zalmon Aspinwall, and its conversion to a gentleman's farm late in the 19th century by John W. Church.^[2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.^[1] It is now the Church Center of Eastern Connecticut State University.
