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.

Our Bonus Bucks program ensures that every Rhode Islander—regardless of income—has access to fresh, local food. When SNAP shoppers use their benefits at farmers markets statewide, we match every dollar they spend—100%—so they can buy twice the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables. 🍎🥦
Federal funding shifts are putting this vital program at risk. Without this support, thousands of Rhode Islanders could lose access to affordable, nutritious food—and local farmers could lose essential income to keep their small businesses afloat.
We need your help this @401gives. Just $25 can provide $50 in fresh food for a family in need. Donate today and make twice the impact!

P.S. Keep the giving going! Join us today at 6pm at @guildri in Pawtucket to toast 21 years of Farm Fresh RI. $2 from every pint of “Bumper Crop” brew purchased will directly benefit our local food system!

Did you know? Every year, thousands of pounds of fresh, local produce go to waste—all while 2 in 5 Rhode Island families struggle to afford food. 🚨
At Farm Fresh RI, we know food waste and hunger shouldn’t exist side by side. Our @hopesharvestri program turns excess into access by rescuing local produce that would otherwise go to waste. We recover surplus food from farms, pay farmers a fair price for their unsold crops, and deliver fresh fruits and veggies to hunger relief agencies statewide.
But now, federal funding cuts have put this critical work in jeopardy. Without this support, we risk losing a vital source of nutritious food for our neighbors in need.
We need your help to to feed our community now more than ever 💚 Donate today for @401Gives to keep local food where it belongs—on tables, not in landfills!

At Farm Fresh RI, we believe that local, nutritious food belongs on every school lunch tray.
Through our Farm & Sea to School program, we connect Rhode Island farmers and fishers with school cafeterias statewide, ensuring students enjoy fresh, local meals that nourish their bodies and minds. This work:
🍎 Strengthens local farms by creating stable, fair-paying markets
🥦 Feeds our kids better with wholesome, nutrient-rich food
🌱 Teaches lifelong healthy habits through hands-on food education
But now, federal funding cuts threaten this critical program. Without this support, farmers will lose a key source of income, schools will lose access to fresh food, and thousands of RI students will miss out on the healthy meals they deserve.
This @401Gives, help us keep local food in local schools. Your donation feeds students, supports farmers, and builds a healthier Rhode Island—one meal at a time.

Today, on National Farm Workers Day, we celebrate the dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to bring fresh, local food to our tables.
In the face of growing challenges—from unpredictable weather to demanding working conditions—their dedication is essential to feeding our communities. Farmworkers are the backbone of our food system, yet they often endure unsafe conditions to keep our tables full.
Let’s stand in solidarity, advocate for better protections, and support the hands that feed us—today and every day.
