The Sunflower Field At This Johnston Farm Is One Of My Favorites

Whether you follow RI-based social media royals KJP and his wife Sarah Vickers who have done a number of photoshoots there over the years or you’re just looking for some fun-tastic outdoor activities this month, Dame Farm And Orchard on Brown Street in Johnston — across from the original location of Wicked Tulips — definitely deserves a spot on your summer 2023 agenda.

And right now the sunflowers are in bloom in a very big way!

Stand Tall And Face The Sun

If you want to walk the fields, and take some phone photos at Dame, tickets are reasonably priced (approx. $10) and yes, they do take plastic. You can also sign up to pick your own blueberries right now, too.

Immediately following you can head back to the store where there are housemade apple cider donuts, grown-on-the-premises blueberries, veggies, sunflower arrangements, and more available for purchase.

Dame Farm (which dates back to the 1890’s) has expanded in a major way over the last couple of years.

They have a ginormous area with sunflowers and an adjacent section where they are growing a variety of other colorful blooms that you will want to snap tons of pics of. (Make certain your phone’s charged up and ready!)

They are also hosting private events ty and I believe, for an additional fee, you can bring a professional photographer along to capture your excursion.

Check out their site for complete details, so you can plan a morning or afternoon there soon. (Also, highly recommend popping over to Luigi’s Restaurant on Hartford Avenue for some POLENTA FRIES and more if you need a nosh.)

As always, if you take a sun-day at Dame after reading this, please let them know you were inspired by Patty J and PattyJ.com.
