Farm Fresh Rhode Island blog
Hope High School Farmers’ Market is Rhode Island’s signature market, drawing thousands of food lovers at the height of the season. Its opening this Saturday, June 7 kicks off a week of market openings for us.
You can be sure the Farm Fresh office is abuzz, but this year there’s some extra excitement. The season brings 3 new farmers and a cheesemaker to Hope High, and that means a bigger bounty of Rhode Island seafood, cheese, meats, veggies and fruit every Saturday morning!
Also opening this week:
- Middletown on Saturdays – Aquidneck Growers
- Westerly on Thursdays
- Monday (Providence), Tuesday (Cranston), Wednesday (Providence) markets at all 3 Whole Foods
Stay tuned: next week we’re kicking off the Armory and Downtown Providence markets and our first year of Market CSAs! The first half of the summer CSA at the Armory is now full, but there’s still a few spots left for the second half and for both halves of the summer CSA at Downtown. If you haven’t ever joined a CSA or make dinners for one or two, these $200 shares are a great way to try Community Support Agriculture out. You get a selection of fresh food from the market every week and all of the money goes to your farmers and producers.
