Casey Farm
A working organic farm, eighteenth-century homestead, cemetery, fields, and bay views connect Indigenous land, colonial ownership, labor, and present agriculture.
Artwork inspired by Sarah J. Eddy
Casey Farm’s value lies in continuity and change. The property preserves a family homestead and papers while operating as a contemporary community-supported farm. Interpretation must account for the Narragansett homeland, enslaved and tenant labor, changing markets, and the choices required to keep farmland productive.
Historic-house tours are limited and scheduled separately from market or farm activity. Confirm whether the house is open, stay clear of active agricultural work, and use the landscape rather than furnishings alone to understand the property. Seasonal farm events can be busy and parking is constrained. Produce distribution and community-supported agriculture make the site’s present economy as relevant as the preserved eighteenth-century rooms.
