Ward's Berry Farm

Not far from my house is Ward's Berry Farm, an example of the new trend of agritainment. This trend has farms adding all sorts of nonagricultural features and nontraditional uses to generate income. In some ways, it's a vision of the farm as more of a park and less of a place that produces food. In the case of Ward's Berry Farm, this idea is reinforced when you drive north up route I-95 from Providence. A blue sign at the exit lists the farm as an attraction.
