The farm is located on the ancestral homeland of the Narragansett nation. In the eighteenth century, this property overlooking Narragansett Bay was the center of a plantation that produced food for local and foreign markets. Starting in the mid-nineteenth century, the Casey family began to improve the farm and lease it to tenant farmers. In 1955, they donated the farm to Historic New England. Today, farm managers raise organically grown produce for a CSA program. A weekly Saturday morning farmers' market from mid-May through October offers products from other local farms and artisans. The site provides a perfect setting for children's field trips and summer camps. June 1 to October 31, tour the farmyard to visit the animals, the cemetery where six generations of Caseys are buried, and the farm house museum gallery featuring family portraits and cultural objects representing all the people of this land. Virtual tour available at Casey.Farm with hiking trail maps.
