I put this on the projo 7 to 7 news blog yesterday afternoon, but I know the overlap in readers is slim, so here it is for the rest of you. For just a few month, we get to eat living food, and the farmers are bringing their bounty to a driveway near you, beginning now

The season for fresh, local fruits and vegetables is finally under way again in Southern New England.

From Noah Fulmer at Farm Fresh Rhode Island comes word that farmers' markets begin at three more locations this week:

-- Armory Park at the Cranston Armory, Parade St and Hudson St., Thursday 3 - 7 p.m.

-- Downtown Providence, Kennedy Plaza, Friday, 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.

-- Pawtucket, downtown at Broadway & Exchange St., Sunday, 12 - 3 p.m.

They join two that are already in full swing:

-- Wickenden Street, in the parking lot of Doyle Realty, Brook St and Alves Way, Tuesday, 2 - 6 p.m.

-- Hope High School, 324 Hope St., Saturday, 9:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m.

More markets -- at least 27 in all -- are expected to open as the crops come in.

More information about the farms, current crops, "pick your own" fields and roadside stands is linked from that Farm Fresh homepage.
