Whether they're creamed, mashed, roasted, baked, broiled or fried, everyone loves potatoes! This time honored root vegetable happens to be Rhode Island's most abundant edible crop. RI Grown potatoes are easy to find in any size and shape from most produce purveyors in our state, and are competitively priced for affordability.
41 RI Senior Centers Celebrate
Harvest of the Month !!
Harvest of the Month is now being featured on senior dining menus served by Cranston Senior Services and Woonsocket Senior Services. That means that 41 senior centers in 24 Rhode Island towns are serving RI Grown produce. These lucky participants simply commit to purchasing the featured RI Grown vegetable twice each month in exchange for beautiful artwork and the support of Farm Fresh RI's Farm to Cafeteria staff. It is pretty simple, and lots of fun! Sign up to join us here.
COOKING DEMOS
ARE ALL THE RAGE
The Farm to Cafeteria Staff loves to visit Harvest of the Month participants to celebrate and support local purchasing efforts. We want to help raise awareness of all the good things Senior Dining operators are doing to support RI agricultural producers. We offer activities such as Local Foods Trivia games and recipe creation contests. Our most popular activity lately is our cooking demonstration. Invite us to your center to showcase simple, delicious preparations of RI Grown vegetables! Everyone loves the show, but most of all they enjoy the tasty samples.
