“Mello's Farm and Flower Center should be a part of your Rhode Island tourist trip, if solely because you'll want to explore all that the island, and this little state, have to offer.
There are a variety of ways that Mello's plays a role in strengthening Rhode Island as an agricultural center. The first is in its landscaping and farming products. You can get many different plants and planting products here. The Center looks to be in the middle of a bunch of planting fields, too.
There are also the various pieces of a patio that you can get at this place. Ranging from furniture to pots, Mello's sense of aesthetic is heavily represented in the physical products that are sold here.
But the thing that I went to Mello's for was the produce. Rhode Island has an ambitious food security goal in that it wants to source half of the state's food from within the state by (I believe) the year 2050. That's an ambitious goal, but we are all beginning to understand that fresher, local foods are better for our bodies and minds. So to Mello's I went, and was not disappointed in the variety of local Rhode Island produced foods, though it seemed that only half of the produce that was available was visibly marketed as "locally grown." This makes sense, because the Center seemed to be more of a market rather than a farm stand.
However, the yellow squash, zucchini, green beans, and sweet potatoes I bought were all locally grown and something I have a serious interest in. I checked out a few other items that were sold in the coolers and have decided that I need to come here again to improve my knowledge of all these wonderful Rhode Island foodie goodies.
The East Bay and Aquidneck Island are in the middle of a serious food movement. There are a lot of small, caring farmers and food producers in the area. If you are interested in making a day of it, I recommend checking out Hope and Main in Warren, then going over the Mount Hope Bridge to Portsmouth to Mello's. You won't be disappointed, but you will be satiated.”
“I had a great experience with Joe. I took my car to another guy that does dentless repair and he said that he couldn't do it. Joe took a look at it and was able to take care of three deaths that I had in my BMW M5. My baby is perfect again. Thanks Joe”
“Super friendly service from Michelle who took my firewood order and delivery driver Mike who was on time and dropped the delivery in the perfect spot. Great job, Michelle and Mike they are lucky to have you and thank you for the great service.”
“This place is perfect in every single aspect! The prices are very reasonable, they have amazing selections, and the service is amazing!!!!! Prices are great compared to even big stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot, and why wouldn’t you come support a small family business! Amazing selection from Annuals, perennials, herbs, landscaping, veggies, fruits, and indoors. I personally love the indoor houseplant section and visit it monthly to see the new selection and displays they have. They have such an amazing houseplant selection and it is huge. There is wayyyyy more of a houseplant selection than the photos i included. The workers here are always friendly and are very knowledgeable and have helped me so many times. I can’t speak enough on this place. Totally worth any drive!!”
“A friend brought me here last year, I can wait for April 8…? what beautiful flowers you have,
I also bought the best honey can wait for more ? you have a fantastic place!!!! ?”
“Lovely hidden spot. The owner is very kind and helpful—he set my parents up with some great plants that they can enjoy on their balcony in the summer and then indoors in the winter. Thank you—we’ll be back!”
“Nice quiet outta the way place for lunch. Lots of choices avail. I had the chicken cordon bleu sandwich with assorted fruit, potato chips and an excellent oatmeal raisin cookie. Like taking a drive to the country, but not far away.”
“I learned the hard way that there is a huge difference between the mowers at the big box store and the mowers from a Cub Cadet dealer. Save yourself some trouble and do not hesitate to buy here. Andrew and his brother were the best to work with and I know where I will go from now on when I need service. Thanks again!”
“These guys are fantastic!
You're not going to find a more friendly or knowledgeable crew in the area. They'll have what you need, options to do it, and great prices too.
They're also huge supporters of the military folks in the area - thanks!”
“My go to place for all that is Koi ponds. After I made a mistake during changing the water in my koi pond they straightened me out so that will never happen again. Always good advice and the best supplies.”
“I wanted to thank E.L.J. very much for their help. In the photo is how in front of my house gets on a normal day of heavy rain and with the potential of more this weekend we needed to be proactive and get sandbags to help stop the water from getting deeper into our foundation as it’s just 10 feet from the street to my house. My husband is away working and I have severe scoliosis and it was taking me over an hour to just get 10 bags done (which was fine as I needed to take time and breaks) and the owner came up when he noticed and called upon one of his crew named Lee. He was overly helpful even though i only had 5 bags left, very polite, eager to help in anyway. If I ever need to hire a company like E.L.J for any work they offer they would be my first choice and I will be sure to share my experience with others. I have to add that when I first called I spoke with the owners daughter when I asked about needing this and right away she said absolutely and they will help as well, once arrived I was greeted by the wife/mother and the crew of beautiful dogs and again she was was very helpful and given it’s not the typical way they sell their materials she was extremely generous in pricing and it truly helped. This is how family own businesses stay in business by helping people in their own community in the good and bad times!”
“I went to the Middletown store yesterday with an idea what i wanted for my garage, and Ty saw that I was struggling and sat me down by the computer and stayed past his shift to ensure that I got what I wanted and that I was happy. I was impressed by his selfless attitude, and I was completely satisfied with the service he provided. Job well done!”
“Most things available from this home depot. Including a large outdoor landscaping and plant area. Plenty of soil pavers and even grass sod for the keen. Also, a nice discounted Timber section if you're looking for an off cut or two. I've saved quite a bit by giving it a browse. Staff are friendly and sometimes even helpful.”
“I was wondering around the store as usual, looking for a toilet tank plug. A young man by the name of Devon went out of his way to ask me if he could help me find anything. He knew exactly where the part I needed was without looking at his phone, while helping me an older gentleman also needed so assistance politelty explained he would be with him in just a moment. Well mannered and very helpful! There's another associate here by the name of jeremy blood, he helped me some months ago with my flooring. I'm a contractor, I've been to every homedepot in bristol county and this is by far my favorite location.”

“I have used Doms Agway for several years. They are always reliable and pleasant to work with. I used them to install an irrigation system and annual koi pond management. They come when they say they will, and they complete their work well. One year my pond wasn’t holding water. They monitor the situation and resolved the problem even though it took several visits which they handled efficiently”
