Casey Farm

★★★★★Marae Shimohiro

I absolutely loved my visit to this historic gem! It is such a beautiful, well-preserved piece of history that offers a wonderful glimpse into the past, all set against a stunning coastal landscape. Walking around the farmyard and seeing the heritage animals was a real treat, and the staff were incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. It is the perfect place to spend a quiet, scenic afternoon, and I left feeling like I had learned so much about the local heritage. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and peaceful day out.

This is a review for their CSA only. This was by far the worst CSA I have ever participated in. For background I have a degree in sustainable agriculture and worked on farms including ones that offer CSAs for many years. If I had known that approximately a 3rd of the each weeks offerings were pick your own I would not have signed up. Nothing against this model but each week I had to rush over from work without a lot of extra time. I often had to forgo the pick your own which made the overall value of the CSA quite low for those weeks. This is my issue not Casey Farm's but I want other folks to be aware that PYO is a major part of their CSA. That aside the assortment was fairly subpar (yes I am aware they had a lot issues with pests so I'm being lenient on this point) and pick up in the barn was often unorganized with not enough scales or bag points to move through quickly. The prepicked veggies were consistently filthy, like fully covered in dirt. None of the CSAs I worked for would have allowed this. A lot of "seconds" quality veggies in the main pick up area as well. I have no problem with veggies that need to be used quickly or have cosmetic blemishes but for example I saw zucchini that was as hard and woody as a winter squash. Wildly unacceptable as it was inedible. Until the end of the season there was very little information about the pick your own fields. There was often little to no wayfinding information both in the barn or in the fields. Also very little educational information on how to pick these items. For things like ground cherry or tomatillos this is important as many folks might not be aware of what these items look like when ripe. Most folks in the field had to help each other find the right rows and provide picking advice. For example a poor fellow customer was picking very tough old snap peas because the green bean fields weren't marked and she was in the wrong place. The folks in the barn provided very little help in this regard. I have a feeling I wasn't the only person to experience frustration with this as around august they finally starting adding some (although still minimal) instructions in the barn. I fully understand a CSA is meant to support a farm in boom and bust but knowing that Casey Farm is bolstered by Historic New England and their popular children's camp programs I think there are a lot of local farms who deserve financial support over Casey. Overall the CSA felt lazy, disorganized and frankly a rip off. I continually felt like there was very little love for the produce they grew and provided. 0/5 stars would not recommend.

I really enjoyed this place. Lots of vendors: flowers, breakfast, juices, vegetables, fruit, meat, seafood, crafts, and live music. Everyone just seemed happy to be spending time outside supporting local. I wish there were more of this.

Casey Farms is always a good experience — I am a member of their farm share and have a great time with kids doing the “pick your own” herbs, flowers, or blueberries. The Saturday Farmers Market is wonderful, always.

Casey Farm hosts a Saturday Farmer’s Market that, although modest in size, is high quality and worth a visit. You’ll find everything you’d expect; veggies, fruits, juices, pastries, an excellent coffee guy, and local crafts
