nce there’s that first chill in the night air, thoughts start to turn to apple picking, corn mazes, and other fall-nomenal activities – and let’s be real – that includes the snacks. Lucky for us, there’s no shortage of farms and orchards ready to welcome and wow us with their masterful mazes and delectable treats. Here’s a handful of fall activities that are inseparable from their counterpart snacks.
HOMEMADE FUDGE No g uide to the fall season in little Rhody would be complete without mention of Confreda Greenhouses & Farms. Locals wait all year to check out their pumpkin patch and famous “Scar y Acres” haunted maze.
It would be a fright if you didn’t grab a block of homemade fudge in all varieties of flavors, or a fresh pie, donuts, and other sweets from the market on the way out. Cranston, ConfredaFarms.com
FOOD TRUCKS Want your fall farm outing to come with some of the state’s most popular food truck fare? Once again this year, the picturesque Cucumber Hill Farm will feature your favorite eateries on wheels waiting for you when you emerge from the threeacre corn maze, plus PYO pumpkin field and pony and tractor hay rides. For the daring , channel your inner Paul Bunyan with some axe throwing. Foster, CucumberHillFarm.com
