Long Table Farm grows seasonal vegetables and fruits, and humanely raised meat. The Lyme Land Trust partners with Long Table Farm to carry on the traditional use of the agricultural lands the trust owns. On the Bloom Preserve on McIntosh, they grow potatoes and leeks and they maintain the Hand-Smith preserve property by mowing it yearly. They also farm on a six acre plot of land adjacent to Upper Mill Pond and the 4.6 acre plot on Beaver Brook in Lyme.
Baylee Rose Drown was raised on her families’ Holstien dairy farm in Michigan. She earned a Bachelors of Science from Michigan State Universities’ College of Agriculture and Natural Resources in 2009. Baylee picked up the organic farming bug in Vermont, where she worked at Green Mountain College’s diversified farm from 2009-2013. During Baylee’s time at Green Mountain she qualified the farm as Animal Welfare Approval and was active in the greater community by serving as a board member for the Stone Valley Food Coop. Baylee earned her Masters of Science in Sustainable Food Systems from Green Mountain College in 2014, as she was incorporating Upper Pond Farm as an LLC and turning the soil in Old Lyme for the first time.
