Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Northern Rhode Island? Scroll down this page and you will see the U-Pick farms in Northern Rhode Island,
sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name
(see "What does Organic mean?").
The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for
a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this
page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined;
click on it and it will open their website. If you find anything outdated or
inaccurate, see the customer and farmer menus (as appropriate) at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!
New! As inflation remains high, see this page for
reliable (tested) brands of generic canning lids at lower
costs, and cost-saving measures for
getting fruit and vegetables and home canning.
If you are having a hard time
finding canning lids, I've used these, and they're a great price & ship in 2 days.
New! Road tripping and camping is a great way to have a fun, safe and inexpensive
family trip. The national and state parks and monuments are open, and campgrounds usually cost between $10 and $40 per night. September to November is the best
camping weather. See our new website Road Tripping and Camping.com for tips, tricks,
guides, checklists and info about parks, monuments and other places to visit.
New! We just went live with our latest website,
FunFactoryTours.com - As they name implies, you can find a fun factory tour, including chocolate, automobiles, historical forts and sites, famous buildings,
Active Federal facilities even fun geology: like fossils and volcanic areas
Note: Beware the copycat websites like the one that stole
our name and uses .farm extension: they copied my work and do NOT even update
the info! I make updates EVERY day. They use tech tricks to get higher rankings,
but have many more inaccuracies and out-dated info. Obviously, I cannot check
every farm every day, but I do check as many as I can every day, and respond to
all requests. They don't. Don't support the scammers!
Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook
page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or
Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally
overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with
the farm directly before you go!
And if you know of any farms I missed and want to
add a farm, please let me know!
I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find
anything out-of-date, wrong or not working -
please let me know! This website is supported by purchases you make

What's in season in December 2024, and other timely information:
Notes for December 2024: Crop growth is slowing down, except for Christmas tree farms and if you live in southern California, southern Texas, Florida or
along the Gulf coast where citrus are starting, and believe it or not, the blueberry
and strawberry season in those areas is about to begin. See your state harvest calendar
. This year, much of the country is still seeing mild weather, so lettuce, peas, broccoli, cabbage and other greens are thriving. And this is a good time to
get a canner and learn how to preserve foods for the winter,
like canning some applesauce, apple butter or
jam, which make great gifts. As do your own homemade specialty liqueurs! How about homemade cranberry sauce or a pumpkin pie
made from a real pumpkin for the holidays? See our comprehensive list of
easy
home canning, jam and jelly
making, preserving, drying and freezing directions. You can access
recipes and other resources from the drop down menus at the top of the page or the site search.
A fun winter activity is to
make your own ice cream,
even gelato, or low fat or low sugar ice cream - see this page. If you have any questions or suggestions,
feel free to write me!

Comments from a visitor on
July 13, 2013: "The owners were friendly (unusual for this
part of the country),supplied us with bucklets to pick and pointed us to the
bushes. The berries were delicious. They didn't restrict us to a certain
area, but told us to go to the area and the bushes that suited us. They
advised us where the best picking was. but we could go anywhere and pick
whichever berries we wanted (Again, somewhat unusual for New England!)"

(UPDATED: September 23, 2016, JBS)
Comments from a visitor on September 11, 2011: "Every year my family and I
have gone apple picking at Pippin Orchards. Over the last few years we've
become a little wary about going there as the workers have been very strict
about where you can pick and about using the poles for reaching the apples
up high. This year was absolutely ridiculous. First we were told that the
Cortland apples "weren't ready" this week, but that they would be ready next
week. Another employee ended up confirming that some were ready on one end
of the farm so we could pick there. Really? How can it be that those trees
are ready and the others are not? We asked for the pole pickers so we could
get apples of any kind of decent size and they told us they had none and
gave us such a hard time about the getting any at all. Again, really? So no
one's going to be able to get the apples from the tops of the trees this
season? Finally, as we've just finished picking the apples, the pole pickers
magically start appearing. We'd been completely lied to the whole time. If
it wasn't for the kids getting into the picking, I'd have gotten a refund
and gone somewhere else. Pippin Orchards is playing too many games. We will be
going to another orchard in future years for sure."
Comments from a visitor on July 06, 2011:
In response to the complaint about the minimum: "Staff cannot leave the shop
to escort to trees, 5 pound minimum due to customers making alcoholic
beverages and is more or less for experianced farmers. Shop employees do not
make the pies themselves, so lack exact expertise in baking of the pies. "
Comments from a visitor on September 26, 2010: "This farm is located in
Providence County and I think their should be a disclaimer following there
info about apple picking. They have the gawl to charge a 5 lb. minimum of
apples per person (this includes babies!!) So 2 adults, a 3 year old and a 6
month old is told they have to pick a minimum of 20 lbs of apples!! There
trees are also not labeled so you wander around trying to figure out what is
what, and than trying to find someone who works there to help you is
ridiculous! When asking about a particular type of apple we were told, "oh,
those are waaaaay in the back, here and there" and didn't even offer to take
us to them. Also when the "helper" was confronted about the amount of apples
expected to be taken they went on to say they take 8 lbs of apples to make a
pie and that 5lbs. per person really weren't alot of apples" What!!!??? I
make a pie with 8 -10 apples MAX!! and there would've only been 2 adults
eating them! There are plenty of other orchards in the nearby area and I
think that people should be made aware of this monstrosity that Pippins is
claiming!! This in by no way is good customer service it's a rip off.

Opening and closing times differ from April to May. We are closed Mondays.
Please check the home page for updates; APRIL: Tuesday - Sunday 10am to 6pm;
MAY: Tuesday and Thursday 10am to 6pm, Wednesday and Friday 10am to 7:30pm,
Saturday amd Sunday 9am to 6pm. No need to bring scissors but do BYOB-bring
your own bucket for the ride home. We provide buckets for picking. Simply
grasp the stem as close to the ground as possible and pull straight up. This
ensures a long stem. If you pull further up, the stem could snap leaving you
with a short tulip or worse just the flower. Don't worry if the bulb comes
out of the ground with it. You can snap it off at our self serve wrapping
station and leave it in a bucket for us to use as our planting stock. Try
not to leave your flowers in the sun for too long especially mid-day. Keep
them in a bucket of water for the drive home to ensure freshness. We have a
water source at the farm.
