Farm Fresh Rhode Island
Farm Fresh RI is a 501c3 nonprofit founded in 2004. The local food hub's mission is to grow a food system in Southern New England that values the environment, health and quality of life for both the farmers and eaters in the region. To build healthier communities, increase access to fresh food, strengthen community-based businesses, and improve the impact of food production and distribution on the environment, Farm Fresh RI offers a wide range of programs and services that support hundreds of farmers and food producers, and connect tens of thousands of consumers to locally grown food each year. Farm Fresh RI farmers markets and transparent enterprise systems help local farmers, fishers, and small food businesses reach more customers. And the organization's work with the community through outreach, nutrition incentives, and educational programs help increase the accessibility and affordability of fresh, local foods.
