Providence - Armory Park
Located in the park that abutts the Cranston Armory, this farmers' market has quickly become a Thursday evening staple for the West End neighborhood. The farmers' market plays a critical role as an accessible source of fresh foods in an area that currently lacks a large food market. The market also provides an excuse for an evening stroll, as you can tell by the number of happy kids playing and dog walkers who incorporate a market stop into their normal route.Details and directions to the Armory Park Farmers' Market
Providence - Broad Street
In the heart of South Providence, this market attracts attention in what is already a lively neighborhood. Run for a number of years by Southside Community Land Trust, the market features regular cooking demos and community events. But it's clearly the bounty of fresh greens, juicy tomatoes and colorful fruit that attract loyal customers to the market every Saturday.Details and directions to the Broad Street Farmers' Market
Providence - Brown University
As part of its local food purchasing initiative, Brown Dining Services was inspired to bring farmers on campus to increase student and staff awareness of where their food comes from. The result has been an astounding success for the farmers and everyone who gets a taste of the fresh foods they pick for the market. In four short years, the market has become the lunchtime place-to-be on Wednesdays. Staff and faculty meander through on their lunch breaks, while many students choose to shop and then picnic on the grass beside the market.Web page of Brown University Farmers' Market

Providence - Downtown
An enormous variety of fresh Rhode Island foods in the heart of our capital city. The busy Downtown Market continued to grow in 2006 after its move to Fridays during the lunch hour. And it seems to just be getting started, with new downtown office buildings, hotels and residences slated to open in 2007 and beyond. The Downtown Market lives up to its namesake, offering a taste of Rhode Island to all those who converge upon Providence. Alongside Kennedy Plaza, the market serves the intersection of downtown officeworkers, bus commuters, convention visitors, but moreover creates a crossroads of urban and rural. Farmers, bakers, prepared food vendors offer a world-class showcase of local foods and the momentum is only certain to grow with the resurgence of downtown Providence.Web page of Downtown Farmers' Market

Providence - Hope High School
The Hope High School market on the East Side is the longest running and most established market in Providence and it shows. Anyone who has visited the market on a Saturday morning can attest to the cheery buzz of the crowd as people pick through a wide selection of locally grown foods. Tomato season can even see crowds forming an hour before the market opens to get first pick of farmers' heirloom varieties. Even as other markets have sprung up, the Hope High School market continues to draw a customer base from around the city and demonstrates how large an appetite we have for deliciously fresh foods.Details and directions to the Hope High School Farmers' Market
Woonsocket
Located beside the St. Ann Arts and Culture Center, the market has grown into a mainstay for residents of the city looking for the freshest foods around. The Woonsocket market is the farthest outside Providence of the markets we manage, and the quaint character of this market lends itself to the feel of the downtown. Its loyal customer base comes every week knowing they'll find a great selection and friendly farmers.
