Hungry yet? We are. This month we visited Old Stone Orchard in Little Compton, Rhode Island. A nice little farm that draws families August through November, Old Stone offers not only a wide variety of apples but pumpkins, gourds and eggplant too. Parking is easy and just steps away from the orchard itself. In addition to pick-your-own, they also have a well stocked fruit and vegetable stand so running in is quick and easy for anyone who is on...
What a trip this was. I have traveled throughout New England, across Europe, to the west coast, to the south coast, but this was completely different.
