Come with us on a tour of the charming Dirt Road Farm, a Connecticut property run by husband-and-wife farming duo Mike Smith and Phoebe Cole-Smith.

A sturdy pergola supports the grapevines.

The dining room, in the garden.

Garden to table, with homemade crackers and dips.

The kitchen garden, fenced against deer and chipmunks alike.

Ornamental lilies and edible herbs and vegetables populate the garden.

Free-range chickens enjoy protection in an insulated hen house.

The native pollinators attract bees galore.

The property is a former homestead, built in 1830 by Squire Adams, Esq.
