Cons: muddy area where ride on toys are, not cleaned off after rain, big sign saying kids shouldn't run or yell?? (Kids do that if they are small and having fun!) general store had overwhelming cigarette smell when you walk in when we were expecting cookie or donut scents. No one manning train or not running? I'm sure in spring through fall it's better but December you need to bundle up! Wear boots or old shoes for mud. We will try maybe again in spring and hopefully the smoky smell issue will be resolved because that is inappropriate for the public and a turn off.

Love visiting URI's Peckham Farm. Visiting hours are daily 12-3PM. The animals are some of the…read morelargest I have ever seen, from pigs to goats, cows, sheep, and donkeys. Kids love a good visit here. Probably only a 20 minute or half hour walk through at most, unless you are lucky enough to meet a student working the farm. Very friendly and happy to talk about the animals and the work they do there. Very good with kids, as well. Overall, if you are in the area, worth the quick visit. It's such a refresher for yourself, kids, whoever to pause life once in a while and enjoy little treasures like this one. Peckham Farm allows the space to freely roam around the grounds, observing the beautiful animals, watching their equal curiosity, and take in the beautiful surrounding scenery.

Heard about this place over social media and I had to take a trip. It was about a hour ride for me…read morebut it was worth the trip. The day I went it was raining but this place is open rain or shine. Parking was pretty easy and there are people to guide you. You want to the front end and get your ticket scanned. They give you a token for 10 tulips and you go pick up your basket or bucket. There is a large field to pick your tulips. I suggest to walk around before picking. Once you view all the beautiful tulips then pick your favorite ones. Once you are done there are tents for you to wrap your own and have someone to wrap for you. I ended up wrapping my own. There are friendly staff to help guide you on wrapping. Over all it was a fun trip and I would do this again. Plus we got beautiful tulips just in time for Mother's Day!

This was so fun! I've always wanted to go as I've seen Wicked Tulips featured on social media every…read morespring, and I I'm happy I was finally able to go. It's $25 a person to pick 10 tulips at their farm, which I don't think is terrible. You have to make reservations in advance, and they would not let you park if you did not have a reservation already booked, so be warned! Once you check in, you're given a token for your 10 tulips. You can pick any of them minus what's in the show garden up front, but you can walk through there and admire the flowerbeds. I'm no florist, but I was really impressed with the tulips they had. Some of them didn't even look like tulips! I was also pleased to see that most of these funky tulips were available to pick outside of the show garden, so I made sure to get some! The farm is really big and there's tons of flowers to pick from. If you pick more than your 10, it's a dollar per stem. Not bad! I stuck to my 10, and when you're finished you can pay $5 for someone to wrap it for you (it's for charity I believe) or you can wrap it yourself for free. They'll tell you how to do it though, and they'll give you your flower care game plan for when you get home. I was really pleased with the experience and I would definitely go again. They also had a food truck and a cupcake truck that you could've ordered from! They also sold merch and some tulip planting gear. What a nice operation!

If I could give WGF another half star, I would. The produce is beautiful and perfect and…read moredelicious. But oh, the prices! As far as I know, it is not certified organic, but the prices are higher than organic at stores like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. A very small cabbage was over $4. A bunch of radishes was $5.50. A 10-oz tomato was $3.99. The prepared foods are equally pricy, and vary widely in quality. A small tub of their "schmear", a mix of dairy and scallions that I add to potato salad dressing (it works well) is $8.50. A very small (for 2) peach galette was $8.95, but delicious and perfectly baked. A berry scone ($4.50) was a heavy lump of underbaked dough, a huge difference from the light, flaky, golden scones I get from Dagmar's in Old Saybrook. A ginger-pecan scone was better. A raspberry thumbprint "cookie" fell into pieces when I placed it in my pastry box ($4.95) -- it tasted good, but the texture was more like a lump of cold oatmeal. A single slice of house pizza ($7) made me sad -- the concept was good, but the broccoli was burnt and chewy. Most of their baked goods are too heavy and underbaked. The staff is friendly, warm, and welcoming, as well they ought to be. The parking is hideous -- cramped and inadequate, with no handicapped that I could see. The actual farmstand building is small, hot, and crowded at peak times. To sum up: I think most people assume the produce is organic, but there are no signs to that effect. The refrigerated prepared foods are generally tasty. The baked goods are a crapshoot, and at the prices, it's not worth the risk of their not being worth the money.

We were able to cut our own flowers fresh and they also had some already cut for us. They described options for greenery, how to cut certain flowers and just let us loose to pick and start arranging. We also had delicious morning glory muffins and coffee while we worked. We appreciated that assistance was available as needed but the class was not too instructional. Overall it was a really fun experience. Hopefully I'll be in town at a time we can take advantage of a farm dinner. Loved learning about the many options for outings at this beautiful farm for activities and appreciated they have opened up the property for activities.

The only drawback was I think everyone else had the same idea that day and the farm was jacked with people. There was a lot of waiting in lines.

All in all it ended up being a great day just a little longer than planned.

During our visit, we were attracted to one of the buildings where a delightful choral group was singing "Sacred Harp" (aka "shape notes") style. After listening to a few songs, we progressed to the trail itself, which borders along a working farm. If you're a birder, you'll like this place as many bird-watchers gather here; if you're like us and just like to stroll a classic New England farm with stone walls, noble trees, and cultivated fields, this is a beautiful place to enjoy the views and the crisp autumn air. An easy walk and very peaceful.
