Farm stand is always full with veggies and flowers (depending on season). You can't go wrong with their corn, it's the best. I love stopping by in early spring when they put all their hanging baskets and flowers out. One visit I was lucky enough to meet the lady who grows most of the flowers and she actually showed me the greenhouse. So cool to see the "behind the scenes" Can't say enough great things about Butterfly Farm!

You can build a scarecrow- they offer clothes or you can bring your own. The price was really good. And the experience was even better. You sit in all the hay- you're given instructions on how to build him/her and then you make memories. Once you are all done, an employee puts your scarecrow together for you. And then you can draw the face. It's exactly the same process from when I was little and It brought back so many memories. They also have a small farm in the back . You pay for food and then you can see the chickens the horse, the goats and a few other animals. Also, during the weekend you can do pumpkin picking and go on a hayride. If you haven't been here, this is for sure a hidden jam that's been around for an extremely long time. My niece enjoyed her time and our scarecrow is so cute.

On a mild early fall day, a nice way to welcome the harvest season is a visit to Spring Hill Sugar…read moreHouse to watch the old-fashioned cider press in operation and better still, quaff down some of that freshly squeezed and refreshingly crisp cider. Their cider is some of the best in the area - I don't know what blend of apples they use, but it works well with a nice balance of sweet and tart. While there, you might as well pick up a few pumpkins and gourds, corn stalk sheaves, and colorful Indian corn (my favorite fall decorations), and if so inclined, tromp through the corn maze. The place is wonderfully bucolic and scenic on a sunny day, and a lot of fun for the youngsters to pick out their favorite pumpkins. There used to be a herd of llamas there, but sadly, SHSH is only down to one this year. It's also nice to visit in late winter, around February, when the tree sap is running, and watch them sugar off - terrific maple syrup can be had here (and quieter in the winter with more time to chat with the proprietors). A quaint and charming old-time New England tradition.

Shelley and her staff worked incredibly hard to create a beautiful setting- soft draped fabric along the ceiling, twinkling lights and lush greenery all around. It felt like spring, it was warm, intimate and absolutely perfect for a bridal shower (or baby shower, birthday party, etc). They were so accommodating and easy to work with. They welcomed our ideas for decorations and games and gave us the flexibility to make the event feel personal and special for our guest of honor. Shelley was an excellent communicator and as the event drew closer she worked with me on the specific menu, number of tables/chairs, linens and more. I never felt stressed and knew the party would be handled perfectly and we were in good hands. The owner and her staff prepared all the delicious brunch food, it was a lovely spread with a large variety to please every guest. A good time was had by all and our bride-to-be felt thoroughly celebrated and special in this lovely setting. If you are looking for a unique, cozy and beautifully styled venue - especially in the winter months, I highly recommend hosting an event here. We're so grateful for the care and effort that went into making my daughter's bridal shower such a memorable day. Janet B.

Sadly I missed one of Taylor's yoga classes this year which looked amazing, but it is definitely on my list for next season. We visited on the final day of the season during a major heat wave and every staff member was still so friendly, helpful and upbeat. Stephanie was especially kind while helping us wrap our flowers and chatting with us. Her helpful tips and warm personality really added to the experience. Thank you for creating such a fun and beautiful spring event for Rhode Island. I have loved seeing everyone's photos and social posts from the farm all season long. Already looking forward to next year!

It was so enjoyable to be in nature and to step back into the Past. The museum is also participating with the Blue Star military program, which is awesome!!

Phantoms and Fires (Halloween event) review: During Covid…read moretimes with not a lot of Halloween festivities happening in RI, it was great to hear about this event especially for kids since Halloween will be unlike any Halloween I have ever experienced! The ads had me excited- great job! For adults: If you like theatre, being outside walking in the dark and Poe- this is totally for you! As we entered the grounds, we were waved into a large parking area (not lite at all.) Turned in our tickets at a little structure decked out in orange lights, were given a sheet identifying the happenings of the evening and made our way up to the homestead area guided by lanterns with real candles inside. As we approached the first structure it was well lit, no sign, no one around. So we kept walking. The next structure had a female delivering dialogue- a story about a farmer's wife, how she became tormented and dealt with her torment. I was blown away by he theatrics, her long monologue and how she held the presence of the audience. It was then easy to identify after hearing her and noticing that people then flocked to the next location and waited for the next presentation to begin. The rest of the night went on this way where you went to the structure, waited for the next theatrical performance and moved on. There was a nice break with a musician from NYC who delivered 3 songs, 1 original, one country and then a Peter Gabriel hit. Feeling cold? Stand by the fire! For Kids: We attended with a 7 and 9 year old who both dressed in their costumes for the Halloween event. From the advertisements I was ready for a night all ages could enjoy. My husband and I definitely discussed that this is not an event for young kids. We had a 5 year old going but last minute had to be cancelled- this event was too grown up for her and the 7/9 year old needed a lot of help from the adults to understand what was happening. The advertisement on the website states: Explore the museum after hours where you will find spooky delights from bats and bonfires to cauldrons and candy, from ghosts and guitars to horror and...maybe even...a headless horseman! No bats or cauldrons or I guess more than words use to describe ghosts in Edgar Allen Poe language that maybe the kids couldn't understand. I can say that they did catch on to system and became captivated by the theatrics. No complaints but it wasn't as I expected from their ads. I can say that collecting stamps to get a bag of treats at the end was their favorite although this process was hard to understand as well and the Headless Horseman (a lady) was a big thrill for them. Things they could do better/Safety review: Tell patrons to bring flashlights as it is not very well lite (even the parking lot.) The only bathrooms were 2 porta potties at the parking lot! Small hike from festivities. No had sanitizer at the check in desk where they ask you to use a communal pen for contact tracing (it's Covid times people!) The walk up to the structures is not flat and large rocks lay there- beware! We had a trip and a fall in our group. Be careful visiting the fire- all the wood is a few steps away laying on the ground and it's pretty dark. The stamp collecting station- the poor workers had no light to help them see what they were doing! Also, we were told to stop at the jack-o-lanterns to obtain the stamps but one guy gave us 2 stamps, we could not find one station (come to find out the girl who was working the station was wandering) and another station the lights had burnt out in the pumpkin so we were unsure if it was a station! (Honestly- great idea just needs some work.) As we were listening to the last actress deliver her performance (at the end of the night) the people working the showing were coming in and out of the gate next to her and people were leaving for the night. I found this very unfair to the actress and us as paid patrons. Our ticket was at 6:30 with the event ending at 8pm. There were 7 stops on the program. By the team we got into the event- we only had time to stop at 5 performances (one being the music.) As we were leaving the kids questioned how come we couldn't meet the last 2 characters.
