Customer Reviews
Cumberland is the birthplace of the greatest basketball player ever to live, Tyler kolek. Everything in Cumberland is incredible because of him. The answer to the question on the screen was obviously the man himself
We did a volunteer event here. Its a nice farm
Nonprofit farm dating back to the 1770's. Organic produce grown and all work is done by volunteers. The produce is donated to the Rhode Island food bank and they also have a small produce stand. Companies go there to contribute labor and ours was there today. Harvesting, tying up tomato plants, pulling weeds - whatever was needed. Volunteer staff there is very knowledgeable. Worked a 1/2 day felt good to be outside rather than at my desk.
Visited here for a metal detecting event with Rhode Island Relics Metal Detecting Group. Join us on Facebook. Awesome Relics is another great group to join. These two clubs host great events in New England. Wondertastic People. Franklin Farm is beautiful. Please check with the city if it's okay to take a walk on this property. Peaceful and relaxing in Rhode Island.

Historic farm. Their community garden, run by anyone that wants to volunteer, provides fresh food to the local food banks.
