Cumberland Farm!

Article and photos by Eric H.


Adam's Farm in Cumberland, R.I., celebrates the simple joys of life in the New England fall.

This small farm with the seasonal store under a tent and some most pleasing peaceful country farm views features everything "fall": apples, candy apples, caramel apples, cider, cornstalks, gourds, hay, hay rides, a hay maze, Indian corn, mums and various other healthy-looking plants, and a petting zoo with goats and sheep.

Although the fall-oriented merchandise and activities draw people from all over the region, what makes Adam's Farm most special is the sweet smell of fresh air and the postcard-perfect scenes of pumpkins, white fences and green land. When the fall foliage arrives, Adam's Farm looks even more like a wonderland of New England fall pastoral beauty. Viewing this scene lends Adam's Farm an almost retreat-like quality, offering a potent antidote to the stresses of nearby "civilization." We highly recommend visiting this modest-sized, but wonderful farm in northern Rhode Island -- just minutes from Wrentham and Plainville, Mass.
