DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Casey Farm Tours=0D=0AEvent Url: http://arttixri.com/event/detail/441555230=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2012-05-31=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2012-10-16=0D=0A=0D=0AThis mid-eighteenth-century homestead overlooking Narragansett Bay was the center of a plantation that produced food for local and foreign markets. Located near Newport, Casey Farm had access to material goods imported from England, enabling its early owners to live in a fashionable manner. Prosperity ended with the burning of Newport during the Revolution, and the farm settled into a pattern of absentee ownership.=0D=0A=Starting in the mid-nineteenth century, the Casey family began to improve the farm. They leased the property to tenant farmers but retained two rooms in the house for their own occasional summer use, as they had come to regard the farm as their ancestral home.=0D=0A=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. A guided tour includes the farmyard and cemetery, where six generations of Caseys are buried.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:June 1 - October 15=0D=0A=Tuesdays, Thursdays, 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.=0D=0A=Saturdays, 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
