Water sources details
The farm also has an engineered Public Water System — well, water storage tank, and distribution piping — designed for the poultry and food-processing operation and reviewed by the Rhode Island Department of Health. PE-stamped plans and a completed well pump test are in place, and the system holds RIDOH preliminary approval, with final approval pending routine start-up sampling and standard documentation. For a buyer continuing the food and processing business, this is a significant, hard-to-replicate head start.
A pond provides supplemental water and an irrigation system is in place. No town/municipal water; the farm runs on its own wells. Engineering plans, pump-test results, tank specifications, and the full RIDOH approval file are available to a qualified buyer.
Farm infrastructure details
Greenhouse/growing: a 60x200 steel-frame greenhouse, formerly in hydroponic tomato production, currently uncovered and ready to re-cover; six-figure replacement cost new. Suitable for livestock shelter or plant production once re-skinned.
Feed storage: two galvanized hopper-bottom feed bins, approximately 18-ton and 4.5-ton capacity, gravity-feeding the automated system.
Power and water: an owned 32-panel solar array (2021) and 200-amp service supply power; well water is piped throughout the property to the farm buildings.
Fencing and parking: perimeter and cross fencing for livestock, electronic containment, and the property is horse-permitted. Gravel farmyard with equipment staging and parking for six.
Housing: separate caretaker quarters on site (approx. 60-ft unit) currently occupied by a resident farm hand.
A workshop and additional equipment storage are also on site. Electric-fence energizer specifications, any field drainage, and manure/compost handling can be detailed for a qualified buyer during diligence.

Additional Information
Turnkey Farm to Fork Food Business, Eastern Rhode Island
This is a rare chance to step into a complete, working farm and food business on 15.98 private acres in South Tiverton, Rhode Island, just minutes from the coast and positioned between Boston and New York. This is not raw land and not a hobby farm. It is an established food system with a recognized regional brand, built over twelve years by a farm family, and it conveys as one package: the real estate, the operating business, the equipment, the livestock, the brand, and the customers.
The land:
The acreage is a working mix of open pasture, woods, and water, set well back from the road and framed by large, quiet parcels. It is enrolled in Rhode Island farm use assessment for low carrying costs and is protected under the state Right to Farm law. A restored 1900 farmhouse sits on the property with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 1,632 finished square feet.
Standout features:
The farm has its own engineered public water system, including a well, a storage tank, and distribution piping, built for the poultry and food operation and reviewed by the Rhode Island Department of Health. It holds state preliminary approval with final approval pending routine sampling. This is expensive and slow to build from scratch, so it is a real head start for any buyer continuing the food business. The property also includes a 30 by 100 poultry house, a 60 by 200 steel frame greenhouse ready to re cover, an on site mobile processing unit operating under a Rhode Island fowl processing license, an owned 32 panel solar array from 2021, two feed silos, and separate caretaker housing with a resident farm hand. A transferable USDA Value Added Producer Grant with roughly $100,000 (which carries) remaining is also part of the opportunity, subject to USDA confirmation.
The community:
Tiverton sits in one of New England's strongest small farm and food regions, surrounded by working farms, farm stands, vineyards, and a customer base that values clean, local, pasture raised food. The location between two major metro markets gives the brand real room to grow.
What conveys: the land and buildings, the operating business, the equipment and vehicles, the livestock, the brand and goodwill, the customer and wholesale relationships, and the leased retail market.
Asking $950,000 for the complete enterprise. Full financials and the confidential business package are available to qualified buyers under a simple non disclosure agreement.
