TIVERTON, R.I. (WPRI) - Sandywoods Farm in Tiverton is the proud winner of a brand new orchard.
Back in May , Eyewitness News visited the farming and artist community when they were in the heat of an online contest put on by the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation.
Out of 131 non-profit organizations across the country, Sandywoods came in in 16th place, which qualified them for a variety pack of fifty trees.
That will include apple, Asian pear, peach and cherry trees.
They expect to be picking fruit off the branches in about three years.
