New for 2012
Several new food and specialty vendors - stop by and say hello!
Market "Cafe" - We’ll have tables set up in the rear of the parking lot, by the
river. After your shopping, enjoy delicious coffee
from Providence Roasters and relax with friends.
ecoRI Collecting Food Scraps - Bring your compostable food scraps to the ecoRI table
(veggies, coffee grounds, plant material – no meat please). The food scraps
will go to local farmers for their compost pile, or donated to community
gardens and public school growing projects. Since 2010, ecoRI estimates that it has collected
nearly 30,000 pounds of food scrap! Instead of filling the RI Landfill, the end
result is nutrient-rich soil used to grow local food.
