Farm Fresh Rhode Island blog

We’re thrilled to be among the supported causes now featured at the Blue State Coffee store on Thayer St in Providence. Every customer can vote for one of a rotating mix of local and political charities. And a whopping 10% of Blue State Coffee’s sales are then divied up proportional to these charities’ votes. So, fill up a mug with their custom blend of New Harvest fairly traded coffee and vote for Farm Fresh!

Despite being less than a year old, Blue State already has a long commitment to Rhode Island farmers and producers. The coffeeshop has been a member of the RI Fresh Network since the week we launched the Buy Local RI campaign. During summer months, Blue State Coffee managers could be found buying fruit and veggies for the café every Saturday at the Hope High School Farmers’ Market down the road. Over the next year, we’re also hoping to collaborate with Blue State to increase commercial and consumer composting across the city. Recycling food and other biodegradable waste into quality agricultural soils is a much tastier proposition than sending it to the Johnston landfill. Stay tuned!
