Cucumber Hill Farm

Cucumber Hill Farm in Foster calls itself Rhode Island's favorite and most scenic family farm, with tractor hay rides that cross some of Foster's largest fields. The corn maze takes an educational theme each year, and after dark the same paths become a flashlight maze. Daytime adds a kiddie hay-bale maze, pick-your-own pumpkins, axe throwing, scarecrow making, and one-on-one pony time. Food trucks roll through the day and evening, Friday nights bring PG Halloween movies under the stars with hot cider from the barn, and fresh sourdough from Freedom Farm shows up on Saturdays and Sundays while supplies last. On a rainy day, indoor pumpkin painting and scarecrow making keep the visit going.

Our take: Save a Friday for the outdoor movie and flashlight maze, and grab hot cider from the barn before the show.
