In Rhode Island we cherish the old stone walls built by the farmers who were clearing their fields and constructing borders in the process. We now have protective laws which restrict the removal of any of these old stone fences. Many of the old walls are duplicated by modern day homeowners, but never do they manage to have the charm of these old relics of the past.

The old drying shed...we assumed was used for corn... doesn't seem to be in use anymore. It reminded us of the drying barns of western Massachusetts where they grow tobacco ( a big surprise to us at the time).
Aussie was such a good girl on the farm. I asked her to pose by the well, and she did so grudgingly, but ever so obediently. I can't tell you how much this dog means to us. She rules the roost!

Casey farm can be admired as you drive south on 1A from Wickford south toward Narragansett...but when you actually enter the grounds, you get to appreciate the wonderfully worn, well used fabric of the property. Almost every view is a good one.

I have never seen a pig like this before! All you farmers are going to have to fill me in on this one. We saw these "belted" pigs at Casey Farm and also saw "belted" cows in Jamestown farms. Can someone tell me what that's all about?
Aussie was unimpressed.

Time to start thinking about your veggie garden. Or... you can buy into the Community Agriculture program where you spend a certain amount of money and receive mountains of veggies throughout the season...usually more than you can consume.
Anxious gardeners scoured the assortment of plants under the tents in the hopes of finding exactly the right start on their award winning vegetable gardens.
