Farmers' Markets Get Fresh, Buy Local Be sure to stop at one of our farmers' markets this spring, beginning in May for delicious and freshly-harvested local foods direct from the farm to your dinner table. There's nothing better than Rhode Island-grown tomatoes, corn, summer squash, lettuce, and blueberries to round out a summertime meal of locally-harvested meat, seafood, or lobster. Shopping at a farmers' market is a nutritious and delightful way to celebrate the summer harvest!
