Where to Buy Pawpaws in Rhode Island
1 verified place to buy or pick pawpaws in Rhode Island. Confirm availability before you visit. Pawpaw season is short.
Pawpaw is a rare find in Rhode Island, so growing your own pawpaw is usually the surest way to taste one. Rocky Point Farm in Warwick grows this native fruit locally. The Rhode Island season is short, and the fruit ripens from mid-September into October, which puts a premium on early-ripening varieties. Allegheny, Pennsylvania Golden, and Summer Delight are the likeliest to ripen a crop in a New England fall.
