Sims Market Saturdays

 
Artisan Bagels! We're so happy to host Rebelle Artisan Bagels at the farmers market. While their retail store is temporarily closed, if you can't snag a pre-order time slot or just wanna walk up and order from their inventory — come see them at Sims Market!
 
Thank you for the amazing support you've been giving us at the Farm Fresh Sims Ave market and the shop during weekend pickups. We sincerely appreciate your support and we are so stoked by your enthusiasm!  — The Rebelle Team

Staff Spotlight

Meet Eva Agudelo, Director of Hope's Harvest RI

What made you want to work at Farm Fresh? I got to know Farm Fresh when I was working for Wholesome Wave (a previous funder of the Bonus Bucks program). The Farm Fresh team were clearly the movers and shakers in the RI food system and I wanted to be BFFs with the whole org as soon as I learned about all the great work happening here. 

What television or book series are you into right now? We've been watching Lupin on Netflix (French crime caper), and I'm reading the Chrestomanci Books by Diana Wynne Jones to my kiddo.

What is your favorite Rhode Island tradition? I've come around to loving a piece of party pizza. I used to get annoyed about the lack of cheese, but now I'm into it : )

What are you looking forward to most post-pandemic? Sending my kiddo to camp/school without a mask on. 

What is your favorite thing to order on Market Mobile or purchase at the farmers market right now? I usually do a big meat order every few months on Market Mobile to stick in my chest freezer, but am hearing so much about the fruit that I'm going to have to get on that asap. 

Do you have any pets? Do they have any skills or tricks you'd like to share? I have a very small, very snuggly mutt named Fiona and she is excellent at terrorizing my chickens. 

What's your favorite season in RI, and why? I love fall in RI for all the fun farmy things to do, like apple picking, corn mazes, and such. 

Winter Market Application Open

REMINDER: Apply to sell your locally grown and made farm and food products by August 16 for our Winter Market season starting in November.
