This summer, Farm Fresh Rhode Island will offer Market Baskets at two of our Providence markets: Downtown and at the Armory. Now, you can support many local farms and artisans around the state and spend the week preparing delicious dishes at home.
While a traditional CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) connects one farm to one supporter/family, the Market Basket will bring together produce from all of the vendors present at each respective market. For customers who might need to get back to work or to their family, a Market Basket will provide the convenience of a generous assortment of the market's fruits, vegetables, and artisan food in one box. It will be ready for pickup so you can get your staples and have time to browse the market for some extra goodies.
The Market Basket works by paying a fixed price up front in the spring and then coming to each market weekly during the summer to pick up your basket. We will take good care packing your produce each week. All you need to do is be there! The fixed price we collect will go directly to all the farmers participating, to help with their costs during the season. Farm Fresh will serve strictly as the direct link between you and the local farms, taking care of logistics and adding to your convenience.
This summer, baskets will be $215 for 10 weeks. Each market will have two 10-week periods, giving you the flexibility to choose and consider which dates work best for you. Download a 2010 registration form on which you can indicate which market you would like to purchase your Market Basket from and also provide contact/payment details in order to receive information during the season. We accept checks or Food Stamps / EBT.
