DeCastro Farms is a family owned and operated local garden and produce center in Portsmouth, RI.
Winfield and Ruth DeCastro started the farm stand in 1961, selling vegetables that they grew on their 7 acres. They passed on their knowledge and passion for farming to their three sons, Stephen, Tom, and Rich, who continued the tradition and expanded the stand into its current location on East Main Road. The DeCastro family now grows over 100 acres of food and provides Rhode Island with their very own fresh native produce and flowers.
DeCastro's is locally famous for their straight-from-the-field, daily picked corn. They also grow their own string beans, tomatoes, cabbage, summer squash and cucumbers, among other vegetables. As a retail provider, DeCastro's provides their produce to local grocery stores on Aquidneck Island, including Shaw's, Stop & Shop, and Clements Marketplace.
