Groton Farm Project
A Farm ParkLocation: Groton, CT
Client: Groton Family Farm
Task: Master plan
Size: 7 acres
Estimated completion: Phase 1, 2020
The Groton Family Farm is a historic farm in the center of the coastal town of Groton, CT. For generations the farm was an open space community amenity for the Town of Groton, with organic vegetables and farm animals. The farm has been fallow for the past five years and is now ready for a revival. I developed a master plan for a phased redevelopment strategy that regenerates the property as a cultural, ecological, and economic focal point for Groton. The master plan outlines a vision for the property that allows for development of public open space, housing, and commercial uses. The plan evolved through a process of environmental research, density studies and town meetings with the local government and community. Phase One is currently underway to re-open the farm with gardens and a farm to table cafe.
