hi-On-a-hill herb Farm & gardens is the perfect stopover during your trip to Blackstone Valley. This easy to get to yet secluded farm is run by 93-year-old master gardener, Ruth Pacheco, who has decades of experience growing gorgeous flowers and other wonderful plants. Take a relaxing stroll around the grounds and pick up an item or two from their farmstand. For lunch, swing by beef barn. In operation since 1969, they slow cook their beef for 8 hours on-site and serve it fresh to you. The prices are great on everything they have to offer, and one thing you can’t miss is that the restaurant looks just like a barn decked out with classic antiques, an amusing chicken coop room, and full-size silo that literally came from their family farm. Families visiting North Smithfield will appreciate the opportunity to visit Wright’s dairy Farm & bakery, a family-run farm that’s been in operation since 1914. Their bakery has an incredible selection of delectable homemade pastries and desserts. And, from late spring to early fall, taste what they mean by “cow-to-cone” at The Wright scoop. Their renovated Streamline trailer offers up some of the best fresh-made ice cream you can find. don’t miss a viewing of their cows being milked daily from 3:00pm - 4:30pm! later you can head to rustic Tri-View drive-in for a couple of movies. We invite you to enjoy this brand of nostalgic family-fun during your visit, as Rustic is one of only two remaining drive-ins in Rhode Island. They simultaneously run multiple screens of current movies and charge by the carload so it’s definitely an affordable way to spend an evening. dam on the Slatersville Reservoir Wright's dairy Farm & Bakery Ruth Pacheco Hi-On-A-Hill Herb Farm & gardens TOuRBlACkSTONE.COm 59
