A taste of the farm in downtown Providence

PROVIDENCE -- The farmers’ markets are in full swing.

Today is the second Friday for the Downtown Farmers’ Market, which comes to town each Friday from now until October. It’s a place to buy baked goods, fresh strawberries, coffee, chocolate, vegetables, fruit, T-shirts and flowers.

The white, blue or green tents over each of the tables dot the landscape downtown, on the brick sidewalk next to the skating rink. They’ll be there from 11 until 3 p.m. – unless torrential rains cause the farmers, bakers and other salespeople to pack up early.

Can't make it to Providence? Check this list of markets around the state, provided by Farm Fresh Rhode Island.
