Accessibility & pets
♿ Handicapped accessibility
There is handicapped parking available. This is a farm, so although we are accessible, it is not always easy to maneuver. The farm isn't paved, can be uneven, and muddy if wet.
Only certified service dogs are welcome. Handicapped porta-potties are available. Please note, farm walkways are fairly rocky — use caution while traversing.
🐾 Pet policy
Valid ADA service animals only. No exceptions. Pets cannot be left in vehicles unattended — it's against the law in RI and you can be charged with animal cruelty in CT.
It can get very hot in a vehicle very quickly. It doesn't need to be a sweltering day for temps to rise 20 degrees in 10 minutes. Leave your furry friend at home.
Food & drink
🥪 Food & drink policy
We allow snacking and you may take a break at one of our picnic tables while you eat. Please pack in / pack out your trash. Water is always allowed.
Groups & buses
👥 Group visits
Group visit requests are closed for 2026. Alternatively, you may buy multiple General Admission tickets and "meet up" with your group.🚌 Bus policy
- No buses without appointment!
- We encourage carpooling but buses may be allowed with advanced planning.
- No buses — small or large — to drive through just to view the field.
- Please be respectful of our neighbors and avoid parking on main roads — it creates safety hazards at both locations.
How to pick & wrap
✂️ Step-by-step picking guide
Grasp the stem as close to the ground as possible and pull straight up. This ensures a long stem. Pulling further up the stem could cause it to snap, leaving you with a short tulip — or just the flower head.
Don't worry if the bulb comes out of the ground. Snap it off and leave it in the designated bucket at the self-wrapping station.
The bulbs are coming out of the ground too soon to produce a flower next year — please don't take them home. You can pre-purchase bulbs onsite or via our online store.
Do not put a picked tulip back in the ground. Once the roots are disturbed, it will die — and dead tulips on the ground can cause disease and damage our flowers and bulbs. Thank you for helping us keep the fields clean!
Only pick what you're willing to pay for. If your child picks flower heads, we ask that you pay for them (honor system). Additional stems are $1.50 each. We are a cash preferred event — credit cards and Apple Pay will expedite your checkout experience.
Wrap Your Tulips 101
- ♥ Snap off tulip bulbs and leave them in the bin on the table.
- ♥ Take a piece of brown paper and lay your tulips at an angle.
- ♥ Count your tulips while you wrap. Wrap the tulips, leaving the bottom of stems slightly exposed.
- ♥ Write the # of tulips on the outside of the paper.
- ♥ Go to the registers to hand in token or pay for your additional tulips ($1.50/stem)
- ♥ When you arrive home put the tulips in cold water and leave the paper around it for a couple hours. This will help them perk up!
Caring for your tulips at home
🌷 At-home care tips
When you get home, put your wrapped flowers in cold water. Leave them for a few hours so they can rehydrate and perk up.
Unwrap them, cut straight across with a clean knife and give them plenty of fresh cold water.
Add a couple of ice cubes and keep them out of direct sunlight to slow the bloom.
Add cold water and ice cubes daily. Tulips drink a lot — check the water level every day and refill as needed. Flower food won't prolong a tulip's life, but ice cubes will!
What if I picked too many, or my child picked flower heads with no stems?
We put a lot of hard work, effort and money into our event — wasted tulips hurt our business. Only pick what you're willing to pay for. If your child picks flower heads, we ask that you pay for them (honor system). Our field-grown tulips would retail for $3–$4 a stem and we want to continue offering them to you for just $1.50 per stem.
Picked the wrong tulip?
Please do not try to put it back in the hole — tulips will die if stuck back in once their roots are disturbed. Also, don't leave them on the ground or hidden among other tulips; dead tulips can cause disease and damage our flowers and bulbs. Thank you for keeping everything clean and tidy!
Can I reuse the bulb in my own garden?
Unfortunately, no. If you pull the bulb out before it has had a chance for photosynthesis to grow a new baby bulb, that bulb won't be strong enough to survive or produce a flower. It can take two to three years of replanting to get a big enough bulb to produce a flower. Bulbs need to stay in the ground after they've been cut until their leaves have died (June/July in New England).
My tulips ran out of water and are droopy — can they be saved?
Yes! As long as it hasn't been a couple of days. Get them into fresh cold water right away and out of direct sunlight. They should perk up within a few hours and look as good as new by the next day.
How do I keep cut flowers blooming as long as possible?
Tulips do best with indirect light or no sunlight — the cooler the environment, the longer they last. They continue to grow after being cut (one of few flowers that do this!) and drink a ton of water, so check and refill daily. A few ice cubes in the vase helps; flower food doesn't make a difference for tulips.
