The farm stand at Barlow Nature Preserve is now open!

Here are some details about the 2025 farm stand season:

• Operated by the two farms on this property: Frontier Farm and Echo Rock Flowers. As the season progresses, you’re likely to find products from other favorite local farms.
• Hours of Operation: Open 3-6pm, Thursdays & Fridays, and new in 2025, 12-4pm on Saturdays (Closed July 4th)
• Location: Barlow Nature Preserve at 449 Westerly Bradford Road, Westerly, RI
• Accepted payments include cash, credit/debit cards, SNAP/EBT, custom CSA cards, RI WIC FMNP, and RI Seniors FMNP.
• As you walk up the path to the farm stand, you’ll come across WLT’s Little Free Library, designed and installed by a talented WLT volunteer, David Osborne. Our community has generously filled the library with a variety of nature books, so please stop by and take a book or leave a book! Check around the back of the library for a hidden compartment where you’ll find plant seeds. Help yourself!

For many reasons, small scale farmers are some of the best conservationists. They are truly in touch with nature: they know the weather, they know the soil, they are well versed in all the elements that make their crops flourish.
