This mid-eighteenth-century homestead overlooking Narragansett Bay was the center of a plantation that produced food for local and foreign markets. Today, farm managers raise organically grown vegetables, herbs, and flowers for subscribing households in a Community Supported Agriculture program. A weekly farmers’ market from May to October offers products from other local farms, including meat, seafood, fruit, flowers, and artisan products. Casey Farm also offers guided tours, school and youth programs, and summer camps.
