Farming has been in the Nunes family since 1917 when Francisco Nunes
(John and Paul's great-grandfather) acquired the stone-wall-enclosed
Bailey Farm on Wyatt Road. The original 1701 Farmstead remains on
the property today and the farming tradition continues with over
30 acres of vineyards. The land remains preserved in perpetuity
through partnerships with the Aquidneck Land Trust, the State of
Rhode Island, Newport Vineyards and the Nunes family.
2002 Nunes Farm Preservation
John and Paul Nunes acquired the Nunes Farm from
the estate of Susan Nunes, the daughter-in-law of the late Francisco
Nunes. The property is placed into perpetual preservation through
a partnership between the Nunes family, the Aquidneck Land Trust,
and the State of Rhode Island. The property is planted as a vineyard
with 8 varieties of wine grapes.
