Pick your own farms are a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors while collecting and harvesting your own delicious and healthy foods. It’s a great activity to do alone or with a crowd! During these unprecedented times, nutrition and boosting our immune systems is vital to lead a healthy and happy life. Here in Rhode Island, we have many cities which boast wonderful and hardworking farmers. Why not enjoy those delicious fruits and foods that much more while supporting local and independent farmers in your state?!
 
Some of our favorite places to pick your own include:
