This is a pick your own apples orchard, but they do have a few pears, and peach trees. They provide you with an apple picker, a bag, and a wagon if you would like. We didn't bring children but I wished we had gotten the wagon because we had a 1/2 bushel bag to carry around and we're retired. They are very friendly and helpful at the shed. Most any questions you may have they would probably know. If your looking for good family fun this is a great place.

Newport vineyard offered one of the most safe feeling dining experience I’ve had since restaurants have reopened in Rhode Island. My boyfriend and I celebrated an anniversary her on a sunny summer afternoon. We placed our reservation on open table prior to arriving. The reservation required a $45 hold on our CC. We arrived on time and were greeted by hand sanitizers and friendly staff. We were brought to our table quickly and the host went over their corona adjustments swiftly and clearly to us. We had a great experience sitting on the patio. They were super friendly to our pug pup and brought him water. The wine recommendations were perfect for a summer day and went wonderfully with our cheese board. The staff were always wearing a mask and would politely remind guests to put their mask on if they had forgotten when coming up to order. Tables were cleaned super fast after guest left. I would recommend the great white as a sweet wine.

Sweet Berry Farm is not just for Berries. But yes, there are berries, beautiful varieties of berries to pick on your own, or buy ready-picked. But there are also apples and pumpkins in season. And there's a wonderful farm store, with produce, local crafts, excellent quality meals to eat in or take home. And it's a lovely place just to sit, sip an iced tea, and enjoy the surroundings.

We recently just did the Goat Hike at Simmon's Farm and LOVED IT! Friendly staff, unforgettable experience and very informative, we learned a bunch about farm life and the animals there! We both got a leashed goat and the goats stole the show and really made the experience one of a kind! Definitely recommend it to others (couples, families, singles) anybody and everybody would love it.
