Yes, our broccoli finally toppled over and the last tomato has ripened on the windowsill, but local farmers, butchers and fisherman are still producing. This morning at 11 a.m. the Providence Wintertime Farmers' Market opens at the Hope Artiste Village, 1005 Main St. in Pawtucket. (Minor detail, it's just over the line where North Main Street in Providence turns into Main Street in Pawtucket; at the fork, bear left. It's where School House Candy used to be.) They're open till 2 p.m. Back in June, at the Times' Wellness Blog, The 11 Best Foods You Aren't Eating talked up three vegetables -- raw beets, cabbage and Swiss chard sauteed in olive oil. Among these farmers' offerings, the Times blog's three recommended veggies: All winter long: Lettuces, arugula, bok choi, kale, collards, cabbage, chard, apples, cider, potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, leeks, garlic, radishes, chilis, fresh herbs, beets, carrots, parsnips, turnips, winter squash, oysters, beef, pork, Narragansett Creamery cheese, eggs, honey, maple syrup Here's a list of purveyors who'll be selling fresh local food till 2 p.m. Saturday, and every other Saturday till April 25, when outdoor markets will presumably resume. You won't be far from The Foundry Artists Association Holiday Show at the Pawtucket Armory at 172 Exchange Street. Here's a list of artists who'll be selling their work from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today and tomorrow. Two art sales begin this weekend, with a third next Saturday. Photos of some of the artists and their work are on projo.com right now. Showtimes and more. |
