Mello's Farm Stand
Mello's Farm Stand
We are a family farm. Our children, Sarah, 9, and Cooper, 5, enjoy helping us on the farm. We currently manage approximately 30 acres of farm land in Tiverton and Little Compton, RI. Some of the crops we grow include sweet corn, tomatoes, green and yellow squash, leaf lettuce, raspberries, and pumpkins, among many others. Although we are not currently certified organic, we use organic growing methods. We also practice sustainable agriculture, including soil conservation, crop rotation, and biodegradable weed control.
We are proud to provide the community with fresh, local produce. In addition to participating in several local farmers markets including the Sakonnet Growers Market in Tiverton, we also market our produce at our own Mello's Farm Stand on Boyd's Lane in Portsmouth .
