Stone Acres Farm

Jim met Dan Meiser at the Hickories in 2021, and decided to swing by his farm the next day. After thirty seconds on this 200-year-old estate, he knew we had to host an event here. Between the orchards, vegetable gardens, greenhouses, and ornamental garden behind the pristinely preserved manor house, there is outstanding beauty and history in every corner of the property. In addition to the CSA and farmstand, Stone Acres provides farm-fresh produce to the 85th Day restaurant group, which includes the Oyster Club and Port of Call in nearby Mystic. Chef Renee Touponce runs the kitchen at both locations, focusing on the freshest ingredients from coastal Connecticut’s many farms and fishermen. She never ceases to impress us – there or in the field kitchen. Last year, she received a standing ovation for her dinner in the fields at Stone Acres, and we cannot wait for this year’s encore.
