FARMERS MARKET OUTREACH
Farmers markets play an important role in increasing the availability and accessibility of local foods. They offer more places for local farmers and producers to sell their products and invite the local community to gather over a variety of delicious fresh foods in their own neighborhoods.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Our Farmers Markets team needs help spreading the word about our Pawtucket Wintertime Farmers Market, which is open every Saturday, November 3 through April 27! This includes postering at local businesses, talking with community members, and distributing market materials. Volunteers will go out in teams or individually, so it's also a fun, collaborative opportunity. SHIFTS AVAILABLEFlexible and ongoing. Let us know your availability if interested. This can be done on your schedule and is great for individuals or groups!
TRAINING On-the-job training will be provided.

Mission Statement
Mission: Farm Fresh Rhode Island is growing a local food system that values the environment, health and quality of life of RI farmers and eaters. Vision: A New England abundant with diverse family farms and fertile soils, with locally and honestly produced foods and flavors at the heart of every dinner table.
Description
Farm Fresh Rhode Island is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 2004.
Part incubator, part activator, our programs link local farmers and buyers by building RI’s capacity in three areas: Producers → Markets → Eaters
Begun in 2004 as a student thesis project at Brown University, Farm Fresh has grown briskly to capture the public interest in locally grown food and translate it into sales for RI farmers and producers. Strongly mission-driven, Farm Fresh achieved 501c3 status in 2007 and has since implemented a variety of programs to enhance the local food system of the Rhode Island region, with particular attention to farm viability and low-income access to fresh food. Farm Fresh operates a wide range of marketplace programs (retail, wholesale, processing) that engages and connects tens of thousands of RI, MA and CT eaters with thousands of RI, MA and CT farmers.
