Farms
Warren's eastern half is dominated by some of New England's most scenic farmland with rolling hills, stone walls and glimpses of the rivers that bound Warren. Many of these farms provide plantings for nurseries, but dairy and produce are farmed as well. The Town maintains a proud agricultural heritage and Warren residents have continually supported the preservation of working farmers in town through the purchase of development rights and other intiatives.
