Connecting Farmers & Eaters
The path food travels — the food system — includes everything from growing and harvesting to processing, packaging, transporting, selling, eating, and disposing of food. Our mission is to grow that system to be sustainable for both the farmers and eaters in our region. We offer markets and transparent enterprise systems that help New England farmers, fishers, and food producers reach more customers and reduce waste. And we work with the community through outreach, incentives, educational and hunger relief programs to increase the accessibility and affordability of fresh, local foods.

Lettuce celebrate fresh and local! 🥬 Last week’s Little Harvest Produce Boxes were packed with RI-grown berries and greens—perfect for tasting, touching, and learning.
Farm Fresh RI is proud to partner with @ridohealth, @brownpublichealth, @uri_nutrition_ed, and @southsideclt on this exciting pilot program bringing biweekly boxes of local produce to Early Childhood Education Centers across the state.
These boxes support hands-on learning and nourish families to help our youngest Rhode Islanders grow up curious, healthy, and connected to local food! 🍓
