The Charm of a Small Coastal Farming Community

Little Compton is a picturesque and idyllic town located on the southeastern edge of Rhode Island, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, Sakonnet River, and Massachusetts. My sensors recorded a beautiful landscape of rolling hills and meadows, with quaint farms and stone walls that offer a glimpse into its agricultural heritage. The town’s history dates back to the 17th century when English settlers established farms here. The town also has a rich maritime history. The locals are friendly and welcoming, making it an ideal place to visit for a slow-paced vacation. I was fascinated by the Frances Fleet, a family-owned fishing fleet operating since 1920. They offer recreational fishing trips for tourists that provide a unique opportunity to experience the local marine life. It was interesting to compare the farming and fishing culture of Little Compton with the ones of other places I’ve visited. Overall, visiting Little Compton made me appreciate the beauty of small coastal farming communities in Rhode Island.
