Rustic-chic private farm venue in scenic Stonington, CT 

Deans Mill Farm 

Built in the mid-1700s as a functioning livestock farm, Deans Mill Farm has gone through an evolution in recent decades. A full renovation of the historic buildings and rejuvenation of the surrounding 70+ acres has made the property into the incredible venue it is today. Deans Mill Farm now operates primarily as a private event space and five-room bed and breakfast tucked down a private road in Stonington, Connecticut. It shares its property with Dragonfly Equestrian Center and is home to dozens of horses. On the property lies meadows, hiking trails, beautiful fields and Dragonfly Disc Golf. The property can be rented for weddings, birthday parties and other special events. Additionally, the bed and breakfast can be rented by the room or reserved in its entirety for complete privacy. The Farm has the ability to host small private indoor events for up to 50 guests in the Farmhouse. Outdoor tented events are our specialty, with numerous locations on-site that are picturesque for your celebration. Outdoor tented celebrations can accommodate up to 250 guests.

Book Launch of my new book, I Belong in the Game. - a novel for adults and young adults. Summer, 1974. In a mill town where dreams feel as worn as the red brick buildings, a nine-year-old girl refuses to stay small.
Raylee Montour lives for baseball—the crack of the bat, the dust of the infield, the promise of a game that doesn’t yet want her. Too young. Too different. And most of all, a girl. But when a landmark court ruling cracks open the doors of Little League, Raylee dares to believe she might finally claim her place on the field.
Raised by a devoted father haunted by loss, Raylee grows up straddling worlds: between childhood and fierce independence, between her Mohawk heritage and a town quick to judge, between the memory of a mother she barely knew and a future she’s determined to shape. Her closest ally is Micah, her gentle, music-gifted neighbor, whose bruised home life hides behind quiet loyalty and a miraculous ability to make a piano sing after hearing a song only once.
As Raylee battles bullies, injustice, and the limits others place on her, she discovers that courage comes in many forms—standing up for a friend, daring to love what you love without apology, and finding your voice in a world that prefers your silence. With the help of an unconventional teacher, a steadfast father, and a heart too big to back down, Raylee begins to understand that talent is only part of the fight. The rest is believing you belong.
Set against the changing social landscape of the 1970s, Raylee
is a tender, powerful coming-of-age story about friendship, resilience, found family, and the quiet, revolutionary act of letting a child become exactly who she is meant to be.Book is available at my book launch, Amazon, and my website: www.tamstales.net
