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
Meet the makers behind the menu!🍴
At this year’s Local Food Fest, we’re bringing together some of Rhode Island’s most talented chefs and dedicated farmers for one unforgettable evening by the sea.
@WatermanGrille 🔥
Tucked along the Seekonk River in Providence, Waterman Grille is known for wood-fired dishes and seasonal menus that celebrate local ingredients. Expect bold flavors, creative flair, and a deep commitment to sourcing close to home.
@FourTownFarm 🌽
A beloved family-run farm straddling the RI–MA border, Four Town Farm has been growing top-quality fruits and vegetables for generations. Their peak-season produce is a staple for chefs and farmers market shoppers alike.
Together, they’re bringing field-to-fork to life at this year’s Local Food Fest—all in support of a stronger local food system.
Join us August 12th at Castle Hill Inn!

📣 SNAP is under threat—and so is our local food system.
Proposed federal budget cuts will slash funding for SNAP, putting thousands of Rhode Islanders at greater risk of hunger and jeopardizing programs that support access to fresh, local food.
SNAP doesn`t just fight hunger; it strengthens our entire food system. With programs like Farm Fresh RI`s Bonus Bucks, SNAP feeds families healthy, nutritious food and provides local farmers with a vital income stream.
SNAP is essential—for families, for farmers, and for Rhode Island. Let’s protect it, together.
