The Watson Farm is a historic 265 acre farm in the Narragansett Bay. After five generations, the Watson family bequeathed it to the New England Historic Society with the stipulation that this beautiful land remains a working farm in perpetuity. These days, the farm is managed by Max Sherman, who keeps it home to grass-fed Heritage Red Devon cattle and sheep raised sustainably for meat and wool. We’re excited to explore the farm, but we are especially excited about its coastline. Brian Pinsky from 401 Oyster Co. will share his story of oyster farming in Rhode Island before we sit down to a seafood-focused dinner from Benjamin Sukle, who is currently quite busy – opening a brand new restaurant, Gift Horse, while moving his acclaimed Oberlin to a new space. We can’t wait to give him a bit of a break to join us in the field for the day.
