The Green Grocer Growers Market
934 East Main Road
Portsmouth, RI
Phone: 401-683-0007
Open: Fridays. 3-6 p.m., May to October
See Map
All the farmers who sell their produce at the market must grow it themselves. In this way, the market supports the people who are actually growing the food and as shoppers we get a higher quality product, e.g. riper peaches, juicier tomatoes, and sweeter sweet corn. In addition, all of the baked goods, canned goods, eggs, meats, flowers, honey, and crafts are produced and made by the farms and people who are selling them. Nothing is resold from another source.
