On a random day trip around the islands, we decided to spend a day in Tiverton area and just see…read morewhere the day took us. After a delicious cone of ice cream at Gray's, we ended up down the street and saw this gorgeous orchard on the left and decided we needed to explore. Right off the bat I loved the crushed shell driveway, and thought it was both eco-friendly, and a super beautiful nautical nod. The orchards were gorgeous, and we bought the small bag to go pick our winners. After tromping through the rows of apples, we also picked up some fresh pumpkins to cook, and some amazing smelling cantaloupe. Prices were insane, I think the pumpkin was a couple dollars, and the melon was another dollar or two, and the bag of apples was $20? We had such a great time at this farm, and really enjoyed our impromptu pre-fall farm day. Once home, we made a French browned butter apple cobbler, and cubed the melon immediately. The extra apples were chopped and frozen for the next food project, and the pumpkin will be a pecan shortbread pumpkin pie. Amazing farm, great prices, and delicious produce. Will definitely be coming back!

It reminds me a lot of European yogurt which is made very differently than the mass produced yogurts here. I cannot believe the price of the milk it is so reasonable and so is the price of the drinkable yogurt. If you live in the area and you want to try some fresh milk give this place a try I think that you'll be quite pleased.

Unfortunately, arriving at just before 3:30PM is far too late to enjoy nearly any part of what A.D. Makepeace put together for the 2016 Cranberry Harvest Celebration. Admission was $10 a piece for adults, with the option to pay either with cash or debit/credit card. With no map or guide to show you what to do or where to go, you may end up wandering around quite awhile. Upon entrance, we happened to see a sign that said "last bus to the bog 3:30". Since we weren't quite sure what else was going on, we walked briskly to the bus location, hopped on, and took a short ride to the bogs. The scenery upon arrival was exactly what you'd picture: a flooded bog with cranberries floating aloft, fall colors highlighting the trees, people in waders running their hands through this year's harvest. I saw several festival-goers in said waders, tromping through a sectioned off part of the bog, and got super excited. Could this be my next profile photo?? (trying to be hip, here). We disembarked the school bus and were abruptly greeted with a sign, pricing activities. The cost of a stereotypical "basic" girl's new FB photo? $25 per person. Groups of 4 or more get in for $90, which I guess is a nod towards families. Outrageous. You're provided with waders; for $25 you get to play in bog water and snap your own photos on your iPhone. We decided to skip it, which ended up being a moot point, as they stopped this activity at 3:30PM. If they decided to offer this for $10, I think that'd be a fair price. You'd have a line the entire time. We walked around, snapping photos of the bog, before spotting a couple of food stands and treating ourselves to $3 corn dogs. Everything appeared to be packing up. I stopped by a beer stand (which had been giving out free samples), only to be told they were out of cups, and then, that they were no longer giving samples as it was after their cut off time. We did get to enjoy one fun activity: bog in a cup! Ocean Spray provides a little hands-on experience for festival goers to start their own cranberry bog (in a plastic cup), which they get to take home. It was a cute, somewhat kitschy doing, but at least we got to participate in something. Since everything was shuttering its doors out on the bogs, we got in line to head back to the main festival, hoping there would still be things to do and see there. Nope. Once again, everything was closing down: food vendors, crafts booths, historical/educational opportunities, recreational activities. This was around 4:15PM or thereabouts. Apparently, according to their FB site, the event is done around 4PM. If we arrived at a few minutes before 3:30, don't you think someone would mention that they're wrapping things up? I drowned my disappointment in a sticky, chewy caramel apple, and we walked down the road back to the truck. I'm sure that, had we gone at 10:00AM when the gates were opened, we would have been inundated with a surging crowd of New Englanders, all jockeying to get the best position to watch a bog's harvest, or queuing up to pick through cranberries, or any number of other fun, interesting, and educational activities that were offered here. So, the moral of the story is: go early, enjoy all the offerings, but expect crowds (apparently, "tens of thousands of people" descended upon Tihonet Pond this weekend).

When we made plans to do a week in New England, this was the main thing we wanted to do (besides…read moreeat lots of seafood). The festival is so well organized with tons of volunteers & helpers to guide you around. They have buses to take folks from the parking lot to the entrance, and buses to take you out to the cranberry bogs. Everything runs timely & smoothly. There were lots of vendors giving out samples & tastes, so that everyone who wants some freebies can get some. They also have food trucks, crafts, baked goods, and more booths than we could visit. We donned waders & got in the cranberry bog. It costs $25, but I figure how many chances will I ever have to be in a cranberry bog?! It's a weird sensation & you can feel the vines under your feet. Warning: if you do the bog, be careful of your footing. It's slippery & we saw three people fall over so that their waders filled with water. But it's still quite a sensation & a unique photo op. Tip: get the lobster rolls & chips-- a tasty lunch & a pretty good deal! Friendly staff makes this festival all the more fun.

Excitement because we saw two goats hanging out lol. There was a small shop where you could purchase different cuts of beef, pork, sausages, chicken, eggs and more. Unfortunately, there were a lot of items missing because of COVID. Still, we managed to get a small package of skirt steak. The man there was nice enough to give us a few bags of ice to keep it cold for our ride back home! I can't speak on the quality of the meat as we have yet to prepare it (hence the 4/5 stars). However I AM looking forward to eating it and will definitely post an update once we've had it! By the way, price-wise, you can get a dozen eggs for $6.

You had to bring your own chairs if you wanted to hang around. That could be a problem if you only wanted the food and then go (like we did). The parking is small, since the farm is mostly for quick service pick ups. At Burger Night, a ticket gave you one burger, two sides and a beverage. I chose the BBQ Burger: Aquidneck Farms burger, smoked pulled pork, sharp cheddar, arugula, fried shallots, Carolina BBQ and bourbon BBQ sauce, and B+B pickles. For sides, I chose potato salad and coleslaw. The potato salad was amazing. It wasn't overly saucy, but just the right amount. The coleslaw was vinegar based and not my style. I definitely would order two potato salads next time! Overall, Aquidneck Farms grass fed beef is one of my favorites for burgers in Rhode island. You can find it on the regular menu at Rogue Island in Providence. I definitely recommend the trip, it's one of the best burgers!
