There I was driving around the Tiverton and Little Compton area. It was getting late and dark and boy, was I wishing there was a place where I could at least grab a cuppa hot coffee. (This was way before the incredible Groundswell Cafe opened for biz by the way.) That’s how I accidentally happened upon The Christmas Barn at The Farm — and owner/proprietor Peggy — at Tiverton Four Corners, 3831 Main Road. From the road it looked pretty darn merry, like something straight out of a Netflix, Hallmark or Lifetime (yes, even Lifetime has gotten into the act) holiday movie.

In need of a stunning wreath or utterly fantastic flower arrangement? How about some jolly garland to ramp up the holly-day cheer? Then, The Christmas Barn at the Four Corners Historic District is for you! (Also, on any given drive thru that neck of the woods, odds are high you’re gonna spy someone with a professional camera taking photos. Seriously. It’s that picturesque.)

It works if you’re looking for an excuse to get the heck outta the house for a while too. Just grab your go-to mask on the way out the door and G-O!

Guys, The Christmas Barn at The Farm is this completely magical roadside pop-up that Peggy’s been putting together for over 10 years. People come from all over - Cape Cod, Watch Hill, you name it - every season to buy one or more of her charming creations. And she's there every single year right up until Christmas Eve.

I see that this year they have updated their Instagram, so definitely check THAT out. (Take note anyone else out there with a business, keeping your IG updated and current matters big time.) It’s so worth a ride over in the coming weeks.
