Coonamessett Farm Description
Get your hands (and knees) dirty while picking your own vegetables, herbs, berries, and flowers at this 20-acre farm. Then head to the petting zoo, where you can get up-close and personal with miniature sheep, donkeys, goats, chickens, ducks, and alpacas. If the kids are interested in a particular aspect of the farm, sign them up for one of the "Little Sprouts" farming and gardening classes. Each one features a different theme, complete with crafts, games, stories, and hands-on experiences.
