In the 1790's Suzanna and Enoch Cate settled what is now known as the Cate Farm.
Their descendants owned the farm until 1901. After that, it was bought and sold a number of
times, but continued as a dairy or sheep farm. In 1964, Goddard College purchased
Cate Farm and used it for faculty residence. Additionally, Bread and Puppet Theater
was housed on the farm in the early 1970's. We bought the farm in 1981 and have been
growing organic vegetables and herbs since then.
