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.

🌽🥕 Celebrating All Local Day in Rhode Island Schools! 🍎🥗
Last week, students in West Warwick got hands-on with the local harvest, helping shuck fresh corn and enjoying scratch-made, Rhode Island–grown dishes in their school cafeterias for All Local Day. Thanks to our partnership with @sodexok12northeast, this special day celebrated local farmers and brought fresh, healthy food straight from the farm to students’ plates.
Farm Fresh RI is proud to facilitate initiatives like this that connect students with the farmers and food that nourish their communities. Local food matters—and so do the students who help make it part of their everyday meals! 💚

🥕🍂 This Thanksgiving, you can help bring nourishment, comfort, and joy to Rhode Island families facing food insecurity.
When you purchase or donate a Thanksgiving Harvest Box, you’re not just putting fresh, locally grown food at the center of the table. You’re supporting Rhode Island farmers and food producers—and making sure no neighbor is left without a holiday meal.
✨ Our goal: donate 350 boxes to feed 3,000 Rhode Islanders this Thanksgiving. Together, we can get there.
💛 Order a box for your family, or donate one to your neighbors in need today: farmfreshri.org/thanksgiving
