Woonsocket Farmers Market

Woonsocket Farmers Market is part of Farm Fresh Rhode Island’s effort to grow a local food system that works for both farmers and eaters in the region. In Woonsocket, that mission shows up as a seasonal Tuesday market on Clinton Street near Thundermist John A. Cummings, giving shoppers a regular place to buy local food during the summer and fall stretch. The market’s footprint is straightforward, but its role is larger than a single weekly stop: it sits inside a statewide network of farmers markets and food-access programs operated by the same nonprofit organization.

Why it matters locally

Farm Fresh Rhode Island was founded to grow a local food system that values the environment, health, and quality of life of farmers and eaters, and Woonsocket Farmers Market carries that mission into the city on a weekly schedule. The market is one of the summertime farmers markets operated by Farm Fresh RI from spring through fall, linking Woonsocket to the organization’s broader farmers market work across Rhode Island.

That local role also connects to Farm Fresh RI’s wider food-access and education programs. The organization runs Bonus Bucks, a nutrition incentive program that provides a 100% matching bonus on SNAP purchases at participating farmers markets across the state. It also operates programs such as Farm to School Programming, Hope’s Harvest, and Market Mobile, each focused on moving local food through schools, hunger-relief channels, and online ordering in Rhode Island.

What you'll find there

The clearest throughline here is local food tied to Farm Fresh RI’s larger market and distribution work, rather than a published vendor roster for this specific stop. Expect the market to center direct-from-producer shopping within the organization’s summertime market network.

• -Browse local farm and food products through Farm Fresh RI’s farmers market programming.
• -Find fresh, local products sourced directly from regional farmers and food producers through the organization’s broader market system.

Farm Fresh RI also runs statewide programs alongside its market work, including Bonus Bucks for SNAP shoppers and Market Mobile, its online marketplace and delivery service for local products.
