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
This Thanksgiving, put local at the center of your table—no matter how you choose to celebrate! 🥕
Behind every local ingredient is a hardworking farmer, a family business, and the vibrant food community that makes Rhode Island so special.
Visit our Providence Winter Farmers Market at 10 Sims Ave to support the hands that keep RI growing, or shop the farmers market online with @marketmobileri to bring the local harvest straight to your door!
Eat well. Support local. Repeat. 🧡
