Farm Fresh Rhode Island is continuing to run seven farmers markets this season. Located in neighborhoods at risk for health disparities, Farm Fresh RI markets are classified as essential grocery access points and will remain open following all Covid-19 guidelines from the state.
Entering the high season, farmers market shoppers can expect to find fresh produce like tomatoes, corn, peppers, blueberries, greens, herbs, cheese, mushrooms, carrots, bitter melons, and much more.
A team of Farm Fresh RI staff and volunteers has designed market layouts for optimum distance and safety for customers and vendors alike. Markets run through the end of October.
All Farm Fresh RI markets accept cash, credit, debit, SNAP, WIC Fruit & Vegetable checks, and Senior vouchers. And Farm Fresh RI’s Bonus Bucks nutrition incentives provide an additional 100% bonus for customers using EBT—to increase access to fresh fruits and veggies for low-income individuals receiving federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. That means for every dollar spent with EBT, shoppers receive a FREE dollar in Bonus Bucks to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables
The following markets managed by Farm Fresh Rhode Island are open this season. For a full list of farmers markets across Rhode Island this season, visit www.farmfreshri.org/summer2020.
