The year-round Farm Fresh Providence Farmers Market switches into high gear for its renowned Winter Season this Saturday, Nov. 4. Now in its 17th year and the largest indoor market of its kind in New England, the Market takes place every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Farm Fresh RI headquarters in the Valley neighborhood of Providence. The winter season runs weekly through April 27, 2024. For more information: farmfreshri.org/PVDmarket.

Visitors can shop all season long at the farmers market, with more than 65 local farm and food vendors together under one roof in a convenient, custom-built facility. Farm Fresh RI is also home to small businesses that are open during the farmers market on Saturdays, as well as varying times during the week, including: Anchor Toffee, New Harvest Coffee + Spirits, Providence Brewing Company, Rhed’s Hot Sauce, Robin Hollow Flowers, Tallulah’s Taqueria, and Wright’s Creamery.

“It’s always a good time when we get to convene so many incredible farmers and producers in one place,” said Thea Upham, Farm Fresh RI’s managing director. “Not only do customers enjoy easy one-stop access to a variety of local food and farm products from fall into springtime — it’s also a vital marketplace for our vendors to have a reliable place to sell their products during the months when most other avenues for direct-to-consumer sales here in New England are either prohibited by weather or closed for the season.”
