Barlow Farm Stand
The farm stand at Barlow Nature Preserve has closed for the season and will reopen in June 2025.
Here are some details about the 2024 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 (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.
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.
Want even more sustainable, local agriculture? Watch Keepers of the Land, a short film produced by the Westerly Land Trust highlighting the important intersection of land conservation and sustainable agriculture.
Many thanks to the @thewatchhillconservancy for hosting the WLT team for a windy walk at Napatree Point Conservation Area yesterday. 🌊
🐧Did you know that Napatree has been designated a “Globally Important Bird Area” by the National Audubon Society and a “Climate Response Demonstration Site” by the University of Rhode Island Coastal Institute?
There is so much good environmental research and conservation work going on right here in Westerly, and we are proud to call the Watch Hill Conservancy friends and allies in these endeavors. 🌾
