Farm Fresh Rhode Island

🎉 A new connection for Providence is officially open!

This Monday, we were thrilled to host the ribbon cutting celebration for the new Kinsley Avenue & Promenade Street Greenway alongside the many partners, elected officials, funders, and community members who helped make this project possible.

This Greenway makes Farm Fresh RI and the Valley neighborhood more accessible to people traveling by foot or by bike, while creating new opportunities to explore and enjoy the Woonasquatucket River. It's a wonderful example of how thoughtful public spaces can bring communities closer together!

We're grateful to the Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council, the City of Providence, and everyone whose vision, collaboration, and commitment brought this project to life.

Following the ceremony, attendees joined guided tours to learn more about the history of the area and the remarkable transformation of the river corridor over time.

One of our favorite discoveries? The site where Farm Fresh RI now stands was once slated to become a major wholesale food market—a vision that was never realized, but one that makes our mission to connect people with local food feel especially fitting today.

Even the geese got in on the action, celebrating with a feast of local serviceberries in our garden!

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this exciting milestone for our community! 🚲🌱
