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
Thank you to @jacquespepinfoundation for their generous support of Harvest Kitchen`s youth culinary training program!
Harvest Kitchen`s training program offers support for youth ages 16-19 involved with the RI Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF). Students at Harvest Kitchen work to create our full line of value-added products — from pickles to applesauce — using ingredients sourced from local farms, and get hands-on retail experience selling their goods at farmers markets and in our local food café.
This grant will allow us to expand our youth training program and add to the education and mentorship we provide to all of our participants, with the goal of helping each of them build confidence and skills for the workforce
In addition to the $10,000 grant, Farm Fresh RI will also receive JPF-branded aprons for Harvest Kitchen`s students and a group membership to the Foundation. We`re incredibly grateful to the Jacques Pépin Foundation for investing in the future of local food!

Fresh produce, healthy futures! 🍎 Since June 2024, Farm Fresh RI’s @hopesharvestri team has proudly donated over 1,024 pounds of nutritious food to the CenteringPregnancy Program at @womenandinfantshospital. This groundbreaking prenatal care model empowers families with shared learning, support, and now, access to healthy meals.
Ana Sofia, the program’s coordinator, shares: “Knowing that food isn’t just available, but that it’s nutritious and free, really takes a weight off their shoulders.” Patients not only look forward to fresh fruits and vegetables but are also embracing new ways to cook and enjoy them, helping support healthier pregnancies and babies.
With a shared mission to fight food insecurity and provide holistic care, we’re excited to continue this impactful partnership. Together, we’re growing stronger communities and healthier beginnings for families in Rhode Island.
