Time to get out of the house and buy some vegetables. And cheese and chocolate and mussels. And nobody says you can’t grab a pint of ice cream on your way out. The Winter Farmers Market takes place every Saturday, 9am to 1pm, through April 26th. For those who want to continue composting through the winter months:
Bring your residential food scraps for composting—no fee to you! Please drop off only compostable materials into the compost collection bins, located toward the back of the Farm Fresh parking lot (by the loading docks!) — for pickup by the good folks at ReMix Organics Co. (On Saturdays during the farmers market, 9am-1pm, we pull the bins out toward the building entrance, but you are welcome to drop off any time.)
The site includes a useful chart for what is and isn’t compostable.
Vendors this winter include: Aquidneck Farms, Bellicchi’s Classic Biscotti, Fromagerie Madeline, Harmony Hill Farm, Jaju Pierogi, Hillside Mushrooms, June Love’s English Bakery, Round Hill Ranch (meat), Newport Sea Salt, Provencal Bakery, Jack’s Snacks (dog bakery), and more.
Grab a bite at Rocket Fine Street Food (the Parisienne burger is the best), Mei Mei Dumplings, and JA Patty.
Plenty of free parking.
Farmers Market, 9am to 1pm, Saturdays, Farm Fresh RI, 10 Sims Avenue, (directions)

Don’t forget to bring your blades and edges to Corey Pacheco at Slowhand Sharpening. If he’s good enough for Jacques Pépin . . .
