When a frost is predicted, there are a few things you can do to prepare.
*Bring in any outdoor potted annuals or houseplants.
* You can cover your veggies, herb plants, or other outdoor plants and hope for the best!

Frosts won’t affect everything the same: low-lying areas are more susceptible to frost than other locations because cold air is heavier and denser than warm air, causing it to sink and flow downhill! ❄️

These cut flowers were brought in today just in case; dahlias and zinnias are not very fond of the cool weather! 🌻

Leave a comment and let us and others know what else you do to prepare for a forecasted frost!

Our compost team brews “worm tea” from worm castings collected at the farm (It is made for plants, not for human consumption). Worm tea is an incredible soil amendment that gives a nutrient boost to the roots of plants and we are so lucky to have it brewed right here at the farm! It is available for purchase by the gallon at the Farm Stand 🥕 every other Saturday so you can take some home for your indoor or outdoor plants too!

The Barrington Farm School is a not for profit educational organization, specializing in teaching and outreach relating to small scale market gardening practices, including local food scrapping and composting, summer farm stand business, and soil health initiatives using cover cropping and native habitat restoration. The Vendituoli Farm, a 120-year-old farmland sits between Lincoln Avenue and Federal Road at Middle Highway. It is the last farm remaining in Barrington, RI. Now, we are a protected farm thanks to the generosity of the community and the Barrington Conservation and Land Trust.

Community support continues to be imperative to our farm for growing, supplies, farm stand, structures, cultivating the woodland habitat to reach students and community members of all ages. The open space has beekeeping, fresh food tastings, student environmental groups, teachers, artists, nature studies and conservation practices.
