Farm Fresh Rhode Island blog

Join us for the kick-off of the 2008 season at Hope High School, tomorrow June 7 from 9:30am to 12:30pm. Be sure to stop by the Farm Fresh table for a market map, and get to know your farmers!

This year, Arcadian Fields is back from sabbatical with a bounty of greens. Wishing Stone Farm will be there with garlic scapes, plants and a line around the block. Plus Hill Orchard, Woodstock Farms, City Farm, Robin Hollow Farm, Cooks Valley Farm, and Bettencourt Farm.

Grab a coffee from the New Harvest Coffee Roasters tent and a scone from the folks at Seven Stars Bakery. Sample cheese at from the experts at Farmstead, and pick up scallops from Bomster Scallops for dinner. My favorite lady Marcia of Marcia’s Chutneys will be sampling her Rhode Island made jams, jellies, and chutneys.

Also joining the regular roster is Narragansett Creamery, with feta, ricotta and sharper, harder flavors. Pat’s Pastured Poultry will have a selection of his organic, free range meats and Matunuck Oyster Farm is the go-to tent for Rhode Island’s best oysters, littlenecks, and lobster. Later in the season Barden Family Orchards will herald in their new crop of apples, peaches, plums, and raspberries.

Come tomorrow, come each week, and come late July we’ll be knee deep in Brandywines and Green Zebras!
