A piece of historic Rhode Island…read more As advertised, the Charles & Margery Borders Farm is an "authentic New England working farm and RI historic treasure". I was lucky enough to spend the afternoon here at their Annual Bargains and Bluegrass Festival. They offered tours of the on-site farmhouse (built in the 1840s) and guided guests on nature trail walks around the property. To top it off, they hosted a yard sale offering many antiques from the property while guests perused the tables to the sounds of a local bluegrass group. First off, the volunteers here with the non-profit organization that took over operation of the farm when Charles Borders passed are just so friendly and helpful. During the guided hike of the property, I learned so much about the history of the farm and my bucolic surroundings. We viewed barns, talked about the community garden, met the cattle, walked over a land bridge that traversed a below-the-road cattle crossing, smelled fresh red cedar wood, learned about mushrooms and farm equipment, rested by a spring-fed pond and played with the Jack Russell terrier puppy that came on the trip. The red and yellow trails were well-marked and a nice stroll on a late summer day. The tour of the farmhouse was a mix of history about Charles and Margery as well as the house itself and antiques that filled it. Charles was born on the property and lived there until his death. One of the people in our tour group was a member of the Borders family (who had not been to the house since they were a child) so I was fortunate enough to hear stories they recollected from that time. A great educational, community area to preserve and introduce others to the workings of a 20th century farm. Their Facebook page offers up-to-date information on events and opportunities to lend a hand.

I was looking for something fun to do, so I picked up a copy of the Bargain Buyer (dated October…read more10th) and began leafing through it, as there are usually ads for fun things to do. My eyes fell on the ad for Cucumber Hill Farm, so I checked out their web site, then got directions. After a scenic half hour drive, we arrived at Cucumber Hill Farm, and we were greeted by the sight of this big red barn. We were told by a very friendly staff member to purchase our tickets for the corn maze there. A ticket for the corn maze also includes a free hay ride, so why not? First was the hay ride, then the corn maze. The size of the corn maze is just right, and the cows mooing in the distance added to the charm. After the corn maze, my nephew played in the kiddie maze, made with bales of hay, and designed for the little ones. Then I checked out the barn, where I found some goat milk soap from Sparrow Soaps. I also bought five colorful gourds for our house, and Mom got some farm fresh jam. I'm gonna cut to the chase and say everything here gets a ten. I saw so many cool pumpkins - round ones, fat ones, bumpy ones, white ones, speckled ones - and gourds, I had a hard time choosing between the gourds, but I eventually settled on five that I liked. October 28th is their last day for the season, so hopefully you'll get to make the trek there. If I don't make it back again this season, I will definitelt be back next year.

Sawmill Farm is a must stop location during the summer months. They grow much of their own corn,…read moretomatoes and other veggies. They sell fruits & veggies in the barn and prices are good. The corn is worth whatever they are charging! Not all items are from the farm and are 'imported' from other locations. keep in mind that locally grown does not equal organic. I believe they really do their best to limit chemicals and GMOs but they are in the buisness of raising and selling food. It is hard to avoid these practices with large scale operations. They also sell plants for your garden too. They are able to provide advice on varieties based on your preferences and garden details (sun, partial sun, etc).

You can build a scarecrow- they offer clothes or you can bring your own. The price was really good. And the experience was even better. You sit in all the hay- you're given instructions on how to build him/her and then you make memories. Once you are all done, an employee puts your scarecrow together for you. And then you can draw the face. It's exactly the same process from when I was little and It brought back so many memories. They also have a small farm in the back . You pay for food and then you can see the chickens the horse, the goats and a few other animals. Also, during the weekend you can do pumpkin picking and go on a hayride. If you haven't been here, this is for sure a hidden jam that's been around for an extremely long time. My niece enjoyed her time and our scarecrow is so cute.

The apples were great quality and were delicious to eat and bake with later in the week. We parked a little far out from the entrance based on how busy it was (Sunday afternoon), but it was an easy walk. A lot of the apples that were ready to be picked and of good quality were at the top of the trees. I wish they offered ladders or picker tools to allow people to get good apples that can't be reached otherwise. Also, they had run out of apple cider donuts, which was a shame. We got some apple cider and fresh raspberries to take home, which were also both delicious. I would definitely pick our own raspberries next year if we return. We would definitely go back for a fun Fall activity each year!
