Wainwright and Audrey Scott founded their own farm stand and orchard in the 1960's. They had four children, though Tom was the only one interested in continuing the farm tradition. Tom graduated from East Lyme High School as well as the University of Connecticut. With a degree in agriculture, Tom returned to join his parents in the farm's operation.

Tom married Karen Wheeler in 1975 bringing her into the family business. Tom and Karen took over the farm completely when Wainwright died in 1989. Tom and Karen have four children, Michelle (1978), Justin (1982), Allison (1986), and Colin (1988). Michelle obtained a Master's degree in Sociology. She lives in New Jersey and works in Manhattan. Justin is married . He and his wife Katie have a one year old son, Jacob. Allison is working full time on the farm with the family. Colin is currently attending Three Rivers Community College in Norwich, CT.

The farm certainly has seen many changes over the years, some good, some bad. Presently our farming operation consists of 125 acres of which we own 75 and lease the remainder. We grow fruits and vegetables including apples, peaches, sweet corn, pumpkins, strawberries, as well as, spring bedding plants, summer cut flowers, and fall mums. Our produce is marketed through our road side stand as well as pick your own.
