Wright's Dairy Farm & Bakery

Top choice in Rhode Island


If you can stand the smell of cow manure, make a beeline to this working dairy farm in a pretty location in the hills just outside Woonsocket. Why? For freshly baked pastries, cakes and cookies, plus farm-fresh dairy products, including some pretty dreamy and creamy ice-cream flavors.
