If you haven't had the chance to visit the Pawtucket/ Wintertime Farmers Market, I highly encourage you to check it out! It's filled with vendors dedicated to providing their communities with the highest quality and freshest products while remaining committed to sustainable practices.
New
Harvest Coffee Roasters
Some of the best coffee in RI can be found right at the
Pawtucket Farmer’s Market. New Harvest Coffee Roasters is dedicated to
providing the highest quality coffee while practicing sustainable efforts. The
entire coffee process from growing to harvesting to processing and roasting and
ultimately brewing is acutely monitored with passion. What I found unique about
New Harvest is their Source Direct program. They traveled to farms in Central
and South America to connect directly with small farms producing coffee with
greener efforts. This not only ensures a strong lasting relationship with farmers
but also supports farmers taking good care of their land and paying their
workers well. The strong relationship also ensures the highest quality for New
Harvest’s expectations while benefitting coffee-growing communities at large.
Overall I learned there’s nothing easy about great coffee
but New Harvest strives to provide the best and really takes each stage of the
process a step further. If you can’t make it to the Farmer’s Market to try
their coffee stop by their home Hope Artiste Village or look for their coffee
supplied in cafés, restaurants, bakeries, groceries and households in all 50
states.
Freedom Food Farm
Freedom
Food Farm was one of the many local farms at the market. Their mission is to provide
healthy, nutritious food to members of the community throughout the
socioeconomic spectrum. All of their produce, eggs, pork, and chickens are
grown and raised with exclusively organic and biodynamic principles; their
efforts are to mock a natural ecological cycle. All their hard work is just to
provide healthy food for the community while reducing their foot print! I loved
how they go beyond certified organic allowances. Even if it’s allowed they vow
to never spray chemicals or pesticides on their fields and crops. They have
endless practices with the compost and animal rotation to have the entire farm
working as a natural ecosystem. Freedom Food Farm is a prime example of farming
sustainable not just to provide healthy safe food to the community but to also
preserve the farmland for future generation.
Freedom Food
Farm was very knowledgeable about where they grow and raise their food and how
it’s treated to arrive at the end results. I encourage you to buy local and
direct from farmers with attempts to enhance food production overall, it will
create a healthier world and a healthier you!
