Tour The Farmers Daughter RITour The Farmers Daughter RIThe Farmer’s Daughter is a garden center, gift shop, farm stand, and wedding venue in South Kingstown, RI. I work a few minutes down the road and when I need a break from the computer screen or am having a rough day – this place never fails to soothe my soul (or eyeballs).

There are so many reasons why I love visiting and shopping here, and I’ll tell you them all below. The magic starts as soon as you pull into the gravel parking lot. Beautiful and unique plant assemblages line the parking lot and entrance, often with striking color combinations. Tour The Farmers Daughter RITour The Farmers Daughter RIThe property is huge and several paths entice you to stroll through the gardening section, farm, and various themed greenhouses.Tour The Farmers Daughter RITour The Farmers Daughter RI Tour The Farmers Daughter RI Tour The Farmers Daughter RIThe front half of the Farmer’s Daughter is dedicated to landscaping/gardening plants and garden starts in the spring.Tour The Farmers Daughter RITour The Farmers Daughter RI Tour The Farmers Daughter RIIn the summer, The Farmer’s Daughter operates a farm stand stocked with a gorgeous array of fruits and vegetables, a proportion of which were grown right on site.Tour The Farmers Daughter RITour The Farmers Daughter RI Tour The Farmers Daughter RI Tour The Farmers Daughter RIThere is a farm in the back half of the property with goats and donkeys, and fields of full of beautiful vegetables and flowers.Tour The Farmer's Daughter RI Tour The Farmer's Daughter RI Tour The Farmer's Daughter RISeveral greenhouses and sheds feature different plant themes (such as succulents) or house mini gifts shops. Tour The Farmer's Daughter RI Tour The Farmer's Daughter RI Tour The Farmer's Daughter RI Tour The Farmer's Daughter RII never get tired of wandering through them, because they are always different!
