Connecting Farmers & Eaters
The path food travels βΒ the food system β 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.

Have no fear, local food is here!
If you`ve been paying closer attention to where your food comes from lately, you`re not alone. One of the best parts of shopping local is knowing the people who grow your food and having confidence in where it came from.
Right now, Rhode Island farms are overflowing with peak summer harvest:
π½ Sweet corn
π« Blueberries
π« Bell peppers
π« Green beans
π
Tomatoes
π₯ Cucumbers
π Eggplant
πΏ Fresh herbs
...and so much more!
Meet your farmers, ask questions, and fill your bag with the freshest flavors of the season. We`ll see you at the market!

We take βslow foodβ seriously around here! π’π«‘
@strawberry_torte_cake stopped by Armory Farmers Market last week with one mission: stock up on fresh, local greens. We`d say they have excellent taste.
Luckily, summer harvest is in full swing! This week`s markets are brimming with:
π« Blueberries
πΏ Fresh herbs
π₯¬ Salad greens
π« Green beans
π
And plenty more, all grown close to home.
There`s nothing quite like produce picked at its peakβand when you shop at your local farmers market, you know exactly where your food comes from.
Come see what`s fresh this week (our greens inspector already gave it two enthusiastic thumbs...well, feet...up).
