Meet and Greet over Tulips – TODAY
Spring has sprung in Rhode Island. Today there is a Meet & Greet Tulip Picking at the Exeter Farms of Wicked Tulips.
Wicked Tulips Special, Exeter Residents ONLY, U-pick Event 2021
Wicked Tulips’ event is to thank everyone for welcoming them into the community. As a show of gratitude they are opening the field to a small number of local Exeter residents. Their field is not yet 30% in bloom but they have a small area of 50,000 tulips that are ready for picking. See the Wicked Tulips Exeter RI Bloom Report for photos of the field.
Join them for a mini u-pick, meet and greet with The Wicked Tulips Team, before they are open to the public.
Here’s what you need to know:
- If you have an Exeter address you are invited to a sneak peak of the new farm and yes, you can pick some tulips! We have about 50,000 ready for you. You will need to purchase a ticket and show your ID with a valid Exeter, RI address at the door.
- Please don’t try to pull a fast one and purchase a ticket without being an Exeter Resident. We will have to turn you away. *If you are a resident and want to bring a non-resident guest, that is okay.
- Adult ticket prices for this special pre-opening event are $15 and include 10 tulips. Kids 3 and under are free and Kids 4-17 are $3 and do not include tulips.
- Additional tulips can be purchased at $1/stem. We accept cash & credit cards.
- Tickets are nonrefundable but are transferable to Exeter residents only.
Some tulip tips
- Bring a jug of water for your tulips for the drive home. (no water on site)
- Bring your own bucket (BYOB) and don’t fill it with water till you are done picking and heading home. Lugging a bucket of water while you pick is heavy and gets dirty!
- Forgo wrapping and bring your tulips home in your own bucket. We don’t have a self wrapping station this year.
- Use our Fast checkout & get one free tulip when you BYOB , forgo wrapping and pick only 10 tulips. Your free tulip makes it 11.

FAQ’s
Help, I’m running late and missed my u-pick appointment time.
While it’s best you come at the time of your appointment, if you can’t make it in the appointed time slot, you may visit us another time that day. However, you may have to wait if we are at capacity. You do not need to contact us about running late or if you are coming at a different time on the same day.
How does the appointment time work for u-pick? Do I only have a half hour in the fields?
Each time slot is a half-hour long. You must arrive at the farm within this half-hour window (ex: if you have a 12:30pm ticket, be sure to check-in between 12:30pm-1pm). Once in the fields, you may stay as long as you’d like, until our closing time at 7pm.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
