Welcome to FarmCoast New England!

Located within a one hour drive south of Boston and near Providence, Newport, Cape Cod, and the communities of Southeastern Massachusetts, this area has retained a rural and historical character of farms, villages, beaches, and harbors. We invite you to enjoy this beauty with us.

 

Here you will discover the historic villages of Stone Bridge and Tiverton Four Corners in Tiverton; Adamsville and the Commons in Little Compton; Central Village, Head of Westport, and Westport Point in Westport, and Russells Mills and Padanaram in Dartmouth.

 

With this guide you will find places to visit, places to eat, and places to stay. In the villages you will find specialty shops for home and garden and art and artisan galleries. Visit also our farms and nurseries, farmstands, and historic buildings.

 

Spring turns to Summer

There are a lot of sayings about the weather in New England! Along the southern coast we have slightly different weather than the inland areas. Spring arrives a little later and turns quickly into summer, which remains cooler than the inland. You will also find that Fall and Winter are warmer, and more temperate here. The most rain-free time is from mid-June to mid-August. Needless to say, all season are beautiful here, and, in truth, the awareness of weather is heightened by the rural environment and contact with the many natural areas that vistors enjoy in FarmCoast New England. Rain or shine, in all seasons you will enjoy your visit.
