PROVIDENCE FARMERS MARKET

WINTER SEASON KICKS OFF AT FARM FRESH PROVIDENCE FARMERS MARKET

 

 

Providence, RI — The year-round Farm Fresh Providence Farmers Market kicks off its renowned Wintertime season on November 6, 2021. Now in its 15th year and the largest indoor market of its kind in New England, the farmers market runs every Saturday 9am to 1pm. The winter season runs through April 30, 2022, and the market runs year-round. For more information: farmfreshri.org/PVDmarket.

 

Market goers can shop with over 65 local farm and food vendors in a custom-built facility designed for hosting year-round markets. Think plenty of parking and room to move around.

 

The new Farm Fresh building is also home to other local small businesses that will be open during market hours for a full range local farm, food, and beverage experiences. Anchor Toffee, New Harvest Coffee & Spirits, Red Tomato (no retail), and Rhed’s Hot Sauce are open now and Providence Brewing Company, Robin Hollow Farm, Tallulah’s Taqueria, and Wright’s Creamery will be opening over the coming months.
