Wicked Tulips - Exeter RI — Attraction in Exeter

At Wicked Tulips Flower Farm in Exeter, RI, spring is more than a season it’s a breathtaking experience. Each year, my sister and I make our tulip-picking trip to Exeter, and somehow, every visit is better than the last.

Wicked Tulips invites visitors to wander through sweeping fields of vibrant tulips and pick their own bouquet straight from the source. After grabbing a basket (or orange bucket), you’re free to stroll at your own pace, soaking in the beauty of spring while selecting your perfect tulips. It’s the ultimate day out for any flower lover.

Acres are bursting with over 1.5 million tulips—some are fringed, parrot, double, and classic varieties in every shade imaginable. This year, the farm offered an even more unique and diverse selection, adding to the beauty of our bouquets.

Last year, we ordered a variety of tulip bulbs directly from Wicked Tulips when we were checking out. When it was time to plant, the bulbs arrived right on schedule. The tulips that bloomed were so unbelievably stunning that neighbors stopped to admire them— I’ve included some photos to share just how beautiful they were. They are yellow and pink and yellow and red.

Wicked Tulips was founded by Keriann, a native New Englander, and Jeroen, a Dutch tulip farmer whose family has been in the tulip business for generations. Together, they now operate three tulip farms across New England: in Exeter and Johnston, RI, and in Preston, CT.

Every spring, Keriann and Jeroen open their fields to the public for the largest u-pick tulip events in New England. What began with 60,000 hand-planted tulips has blossomed into over 1.5 million blooms—transforming the landscape into a living rainbow.

Wicked Tulips isn’t just beautiful—it’s built on sustainability. From the very beginning, Keriann and Jeroen committed to selling only certified organic bulbs. At a time when harmful practices were common in the bulb industry, they helped drive a shift toward eco-friendly farming. Today, neonicotinoids are banned, and soil health is a growing priority.

Their dedication doesn’t stop in New England—Jeroen’s family farm in Holland is now part of a pioneering group working to reduce pesticide use and restore soil vitality.

Thanks to these efforts, Wicked Tulips continues to offer an even more dazzling and diverse selection of bulbs each year. Their commitment to sustainability means you can feel good about the flowers you bring home.

So…next spring, be sure to visit Wicked Tulips’ website (where you can order tickets in advance) and plan your own...

Very disappointed this year! My friend purchased tickets weeks in advance and we made a plan to meet at the farm. Upon arrival we discovered that the farm was closed. Very confused by this we tried calling with no luck reaching anyone. We decided to go and grab lunch and make the best of it. I traveled a little over an hour and my friend traveled about a half hour. The worst part is after a few emails back and forth no refund was given. They offered us a visit to their Connecticut location that day or following day which wasn't possible for us, but that was it. So we are out $40.00. This is very bad customer service. Instead of trying to make this right so that we returned next year they just didn't really care. We will not be returning next year. I've never left a review like this ever but feel they need to know how wrong they handled...

Really friendly staff. Not exactly as I envisioned- the field is kind of in a back corner near the woods not really open. The day we went was gray and rainy, which of course is just luck of the draw. We still had a fun time collecting the tulips. It was a bit crowded. The price is a great value I would say for ten tulips each. Our house is full of the beautiful blooms and we had plenty to gift. My biggest advice is know the blooms will open so if a tulip looks a little boring just wait til you get home and it opens. I wish I bought more ruffled tulips but they seemed so small I only got one. The smallest tulips ended up being the most beautiful when they opened. I also wish it was more of an experience maybe with some food trucks and vendors. Fun time for...
