Long Table Farm practices sustainable agriculture on Beaver Brook Road, Route 156 and McIntosh Road in Lyme, Connecticut.  Our home farm was on the Upper Mill Pond when we started farm in the winter of 2013/2014, but we expanded to Beaver Brook Road in 2016. We changed our farm name from “Upper Pond Farm” (which was tied to the main feature of our original field on Sill Lane, the Upper Millpond), to Long Table Farm in 2020. 256 Beaver Brook Road is our home farm and one of our CSA locations.

We grow seasonal vegetables and fruits on our 4.6 acre plot on Beaver Brook in Lyme. We also tend two land trust properties in Lyme. At the Bloom Preserve on McIntosh we are growing winter squash and garlic and Hand-Smith where we are reestablishing perennial grasses and have cultivated potatoes and sweet potatoes for 2022. We are so grateful to Lyme Land Trust for access to beautiful, flat farm land.

We use ecologically based agricultural practices to manage our farms holistically.  Top priorities are enhancing biodiversity, soil health and structure. We find that healthy soils grow high quality produce.

 Long Table Farm recycles nutrients, encourages composting on and off farm, and builds resilient systems.  We use preventative methods by building systems that are plant positive to avoid synthetic chemical treatment of disease and pests.  When your soil is healthy, your plants are healthy.

Long Table Farm invests in Lyme-Old Lyme's community.  We feed our community directly.  We educate our community by connecting them with the earth and food system. We donate produce to the Shore Line Soup Kitchen. 

Long Table Farm is operated by Baylee Drown and Ryan Quinn, with the help of Farm Manager Naomi Sudo and the support of many community members!
