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.
What's Happening This Week • @farmfreshri
Take action for food access! 🚨 For years, local farmers, schools, and food distributors have worked together to get fresh, local food into schools and food pantries. Programs like the USDA`s Local Food Purchase Assistance Program (LFPA) and Local Food for Schools Program (LFS) were key to that effort—strengthening local supply chains and supporting small, underserved farmers.
But earlier this year, the USDA pulled over $1 billion in 2025 funding set for LFPA and LFS. When the USDA terminated these programs, it cancelled valuable contracts for farmers and made it more difficult for food banks and schools to get the food our communities need. The loss of these investments will have lasting effects on our local food networks nationwide.
Congress can fix this by making these programs permanent through the Farm Bill. We need your voice—reach out to your legislators today!
