Save a farm

New England FarmWays is a special initiative of the Rhode Island Center for Agricultural Promotion and Education (RICAPE), established to make our farms and nature based sites in southern New England more visible and accessible to people of all ages and interests. Farms don't only produce food and greenery, they also preserve and protect many of the things that we all care about and share - like open spaces, wildlife, woodlands, waterways, natural resources, a sense of place and a quality of life for us and for the people and families that live and work on them. Farms and nature sites are also places of significant historic, cultural, ecological and educational value that you can enjoy. At the same time, you provide an additional source of income to keep our farms in business and in place - today, and for generations to come. Show your support when you travel with your New England rental car by visiting one of New England's FarmWays.
