Explore Rhode Island agriculture and learn what makes it unique.
Rhode Island is home to 1,043 farms spread across a total of nearly 60,000 acres of farmland with an average size of 55 acres. The top commodities produced in the state include: Nursery Crops, Greenhouse Crops, Floriculture products, Sod, Vegetables, Milk, and Aquaculture products. Rhode Island is the smallest state and as a result, it has the lowest agricultural revenue of any state. However, given that farmland covers 10% of the state's entire land area and that agriculture is one of the top economic drivers for the state, it is apparent that agriculture plays an important role in Rhode Island.
According to the latest USDA Census of Agriculture, Rhode Island grew and sold $58 million worth of agricultural products, of which, just over 70% was from the sale of Crops and 30% from the sale of Livestock, Poultry, and their products.
The top 5 counties in terms of agricultural sales were Washington County, Newport County, Providence County, Kent County, and Bristol County. These counties make up nearly 100% of agricultural revenue.
