Farm Fresh Rhode Island

A hub for local food since 2004

Nov 24 at the Pawtucket Wintertime Farmers Market

Shopping at small businesses makes a huge impact on our local economy every day of the year. But “Small Business Saturday” is an extra reminder during this highly consumptive season to choose small businesses this weekend — and that includes local farmers, fishers, foragers, and food producers!

The Pawtucket Wintertime Famers Market is open this Saturday! Tired of Thanksgiving leftovers yet? Need an activity for the family and holiday guests? Come where the warmth, fun, food, and community is! Take the morning off in the kitchen, and let our prepared food vendors and food trucks do the cooking for you! Get out of the house, meet up with friends, and re-stock your pantry after all that holiday eating — and support local, small businesses while you’re at it!

Join us at the Hope Artiste Village, 1005 Main Street in Pawtucket (Click for map.), 9:00am to 1:00pm for the largest farmers market of its kind in New England!

Earth Appliance Organics will pick up food waste at the farmers market. Look for two collection bins by the front of the market on Main Street, and one by the rear side door on Dudley Street.

 

EXTENSIVE SELECTION OF LOCAL FOODS

The market features a wide variety of locally grown produce, poultry, meats, and cheeses; locally caught fish and shellfish; baked goods and prepared foods; value-added items like salsas, jams, sauces, ferments, pickles, kimchi, and krauts; self-care products, decorations, and seasonal gifts; and so much more!

With two long, connected hallways filled with vendors — which we refer to as the Green hallway (1005 Main Street entrance) and Yellow hallway (999 Main Street entrance) — there’s something for everyone at the Pawtucket Wintertime Farmers Market!
