ABOUT
Young Family Farm is a 300-acre farm located in Little Compton, Rhode Island, operated by the Young family. The farm features a retail stand that offers fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers, operating from May through October. It is recognized as one of the three largest farms in Rhode Island, with 100 acres dedicated solely to potatoes, contributing to its diverse agricultural output.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Families visiting Young Family Farm can enjoy activities such as Pick-Your-Own fruits, vegetables, and flowers, as well as participate in the annual Apple Festival. The farm provides a variety of engaging experiences for visitors, including opportunities to learn about farming practices and enjoy the outdoors. The retail stand has expanded significantly since its inception, catering to both local residents and seasonal visitors.
GOOD TO KNOW
Founded in 1997 by Tyler and Karla Young, the farm began with a small roadside stand selling strawberries and has evolved into a significant agricultural operation. The Young family’s commitment to farming has allowed them to donate hundreds of thousands of food each year to the local food bank. Young Family Farm operates seasonally, opening its doors in May and remaining active until Halloween, providing fresh produce and community engagement opportunities.
