Couët Farm & Fromagerie

Perfect for Thanksgiving Platters!
Couët Farm & Fromagerie is bringing Williamina (shown above) to market this weekend. This ash-ripened sheep milk square tastes woodsy with notes of brassica and spring pasture. A beautiful addition to Thanksgiving platters.

LAST CHANCE — TWO THANKSGIVING RAFFLES!

It’s your last chance to get tickets for our TWO fun raffles at the Winter Market in Pawtucket! Tickets are $5 each and available for purchase this Saturday, 9am-NOON. Winners will be drawn at noon! Enter as many times as you’d like, in either or both raffles!

    TURKEY & BRINE KIT RAFFLE
    Win a ~15 lb. free-range turkey courtesy of Pat’s Pastured — plus a brining kit from Ocean State Pepper Company, a great source for handcrafted spice blends, seasoning mixes, drink blends and soup bases. Pat’s Standard White Turkeys are raised on pasture and fed non-GMO grains. Known for having a generous amount of white breast meat, this turkey will make an excellent centerpiece for your Thanksgiving meal.

    VEGAN DINNER RAFFLE
    This generous basket (feeds about 6) will make all your vegan-Thanksgiving dreams come true! You’ll win Stuffed Shells made with Barrett’s Garden Fauxcotta, a 9″ pumpkin or apple crumble pie from Blush Bakeshop, dinner rolls or baguette from Provencal Bakery, and traditional Thanksgiving fixings like mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, and a lentil Wellington from Sprout & Lentil! JUST ADDED: You’ll also get a container of Barrett’s Garden Farmesan, Sassy Sririacha Lime, and Sassy Pink Himalayan Salt & Cracked Pepper for cracker spreads!

Farm Fresh RI employees and Market staff are not eligible to win. Prizes for both raffles will be picked up from Farm Fresh RI at the Hope Artiste Village, 1005 Main St, Pawtucket, RI 02860.

FARMERS MARKET MAPS

Hallway “Maps” A quick view of vendor locations at the market for November & December.

 
Overview Map The market layout inside the building, with surrounding streets and parking. PLEASE NOTE: Until Further Notice, the hill along the side of the building connecting Dudley Street to Esten Ave — where the large parking lot is behind the market — is closed to vehicles (open to foot traffic) due to construction. This is unfortunate but unavoidable. Rest assured we will be excited to share the news the minute the hill is reopened, so stay tuned.

Use Alternate Route To access the large parking lot behind the market, take Moshassuck St or Warren Ave to Esten Ave.

 

OTHER HAPPENINGS AT THE HOPE ARTISTE VILLAGE

The farmers market isn’t the only fun thing happening in the building on Saturdays. Please refer to the Hope Artiste Village directory to see all of the artist studios, dance and movement studios, and retail shops that surround our farmers market.
