Looks like this week’s forum at Brown was a big success:
PROVIDENCE — Sure, the shoppers still hunt for tomatoes as they scan the produce at the winter farmers’ market downtown. But most don’t leave empty-handed, instead cradling fresh eggs or winter squash, beets and radishes fished out of baskets by the AS220 stage.
Local food foragers, it turns out, do not hibernate in the cold weather.
“The interest continues,” said Sheri V. Griffen, the marketing director for Farm Fresh Rhode Island, which is organizing winter markets this year for the first time. “People will keep coming.”
