Our Story...
Pezza Farm was founded in 1947 by our Great Grandfather, Micheal Pezza, and it has been history ever since. With over fifty acres, Pezza Farm began as a dairy farm and grew only a moderate selection of fruits and vegetables to feed the growing family. Over time, Pezza Farm eventually expanded its fruits and vegetables produce to sell at our own road side farm stand and local farmers markets throughout the state of Rhode Island. Our Grandfather took over the family agriculture business and it has been with us ever since.
While farming runs deep in our family, so does gardening. With then help of our Grandmother and her love for flowers, Doreen Pezza was able to turn Pezza Farm into the garden center it is today. In the early 1970s, she would sell small annuals at our farm stand and local farmers markets. By 1980, our Grandmother was able to turn her passion into a reality by opening Pezza Farm's Garden Center in Johnston, R.I. which became home to an array of perennials, annuals, shrubs, herbs, vegetable plants and more.
Pezza Farm has been family-owned and operated for four-generations and we were excited to expand what our Great Grandfather started in 1947 with opening a second location in East Greenwich in 2018. We are truly grateful to be able to continue what we love to do for over 75 years, we are thankful to all our customers for giving us the opportunity to let the Pezza tradition thrive for generations to come.

"Farming is like a contagious disease, once you start, you cannot stop, it creates an addicting love for the land. Though you may not be rich, you are rich with values."
