Adams Farm, Cumberland,
R.I.
Article and photo
by Eric H.
Adams Farm, in Cumberland, R.I.,
is a summer and fall destination place you just won't want to
leave. Celebrating the simple joys of life, Adams Farm offers
beautiful, peaceful country farm views, a petting zoo area with
goats and sheep, hay and corn mazes, pumpkin patches, and a small
tent-like store that offers fruits and vegetables, healthy looking
plants (especially the mums) and more farm delights. It is a
place where the sweet smell of fresh air and the postcard-perfect
scenes of pumpkins, white fences and green land define the true
meaning of pastoral beauty.
We visited Adams Farm two consecutive
days, as we were impressed by its retreat-like qualities, so
close to home. While places like this are commonplace in Vermont
and New Hampshire, they are not in the suburban Providence, R.I.,
to Boston. Mass., region. That is why Adams Farm seems to be
all that much more special, as tranquility is only a stone's
throw away from the hectic urban/suburban sprawl that only seems
to be growing too quickly. At Adams Farm, growth only applies
to plant life -- so rich, so pleasing and yet within proximity
to what some to refer to as civilization. It seems to us, however,
that Adams Farm is civilization -- pure, wholesome and
natural.
