Don’t miss a chance to support local growers, stock your vacation kitchen, or simply slow down and savor the rhythm of coastal farm country.
Pick Your Own Farms
Quonset View Farm
We spent many June mornings here when my kids were small. We would bring our own baskets. They weigh them on the way in, than then weigh them on the way out and calculate how many pounds of strawberries to charge you for. They should have weighed the kids, because I’m pretty sure they lost money on us with how many they ate while we were in the fields. June is the best time of year for strawberries, you can give them a call before you head to the farm. Their contact information can be found here.
Boughs & Berries Farm
This was our go-to place for blueberries in July, as early in the morning as we could mange before it got too hot. They had cand that were tied to strings we looped around our necks. Insider’s tip- pick as close to the bird call speaker as your ears will tolerate- the berries are the biggest there! More info about the farm here.
Old Stone Orchard
It’s not fall until you have a day of apple picking, and this was our place. The trees are short, easily accessible for everyone. They also have pears and pumpkins. It’s a great fall day for kids of all ages, because they also have animals to visit- chickens, goats, pigs, turkeys & ducks. Visit their website here.
Young Family Farm
The Young Family is thriving here in Little Compton. They have so many pick your own options-
Strawberries: Early June – early July
Blueberries: Late July – mid-August
Flowers: Mid-June – October
Tomatoes: Late July – September
Apples: Late August – early October
They are also one of our favorite farm stands in town with flowers to plant, cut flowers, fruits & vegetables. The Nitro Bar will have their coffee trailer at the farmstand this year and they are opening an event venue, Orchard View. Stay up to date with all happening at the Young Family Farm.

Sweet & Salty Farm
Sweet & Salty Farm is a small dairy in Little Compton, Rhode Island. They farm a beautiful piece of land that goes right down to the ocean’s edge (this was previously my high school friend’s farm, and one of the people whose influence led us to move to Little Compton ourselves). They milk a small herd of grass-fed Jersey cows and process their own milk into yogurt and cheese at the on-farm creamery. Their home farmstand is open most summer Saturdays June-September and they are also at many of the local farmers markets. To learn more about this wonderful family, visit their website here.
Small World Farm
Small World Farm is one of the newer farms in LC, although the owners have probably been farming for their family their entire lives. In May of 2021 Claire & Patrick bought a two acre orchard from the previously mentioned Old Stone Orchard, this property was abutting their family home. They have been since transitioning the farm to growing organically. The traditional post and beam farm stand is stunning! Find out what is new with Small World Farm here.
