This summer, Farm Fresh Rhode Island will offer Market Baskets at the
Downtown Farmer Market! Now, you can support many local farms and
artisans around the state with a quick and easy pick-up!
While a traditional CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) connects one
farm to one supporter/family, the Market Basket will bring together
produce from all of the vendors present at each market. For customers
who might need to get back to work or to their family, a Market Basket
will provide the convenience of a generous assortment of the market’s
fruits, vegetables, and artisan food in one box. It will be ready for
pickup so you can get your staples and have time to browse the market
for some extra goodies.
The Market Basket works by paying a fixed price up front and then
coming to each market weekly during the summer to pick up your basket.
The fixed price we collect will go directly to all the farmers
participating, to help with their costs during the season. Farm Fresh
will serve strictly as the direct link between you and the local
farms, taking care of logistics and adding to your convenience.
This summer, baskets will be $215 for 10 weeks. There will be two
10-week periods, giving you the flexibility to choose and consider
which dates work best for you. Download a 2010 registration form

Basket.
