The goats really enjoyed having people around them which shows how well they're cared for. The goats are precious and calm and entertaining-- cannot recommend hanging out with them enough. There were 3 baby goats we got to pet and interact with. Tips: wear closed toed shoes with laces that the goats might be less likely to eat! Declan really liked my boot laces

I have been a member of the CSA at Gather Farm for three years now and I have so much appreciation…read morefor all the effort and love they put into not just a business but a community. You always feel welcome when you're on the farm. It's such a peaceful space to walk around and look for birds, say hi to the goats, participate in a cooking demo, take a yoga class, or get some ice cream. If you're looking for good people and a beautiful space, head to Gather Farm.

One factor to consider is pickup day and location and this one is perfect for me. It's every Thursday afternoon at the new Farm Fresh RI building on Sims Street in Providence. It's right around the corner from my office so I can stop on my way home. It's only been two weeks and I'm already thrilled. Such variety and quality!! Lots of green this early in the season. So far I've had rainbow chard, curly kale, garlic scapes, scallions, frisee lettuce, radishes, tiny salad turnips, sugar snap peas, fennel with a giant top of fronds. They give you an email heads up about some of the products a few days in advance with suggestions for using what might be unfamiliar produce. Can't wait for week 3!

But then I discovered this little gem! This is a smaller market, but I find this to be less overwhelming then the larger ones. There were a lot of farms I was unfamiliar with and they were all very friendly and had plenty of variety to choose from. The prices here are in most cases almost 50% cheaper then what I've seen at Hope St. We walked away with some delicious and sweet corn that was only 35¢ an ear, patty pan squash for 50¢ each, pint of cherry tomatoes for $1.50 . . . you get the idea. We had a fantastic dinner when we got home! So mad at myself for not finding this market sooner, it will certainly make it's way into my weekly shopping routine.

I've been here for dog adoption events, farmers markets, flea, Halloween festivities, food trucks, flowers, coffee, tacos, beer, and so much more. There is some street parking available and two different lots to pick from. On busy days, it might be challenging to find parking but you'll always get a spot eventually.

Pro-tip: Do a full round before stopping to purchase anything because many of the farm-fresh vegetable and egg vendors have similar offerings and I regretted stopping at the first one I saw before checking others. We also grabbed some coffee (long line, but worth it) as well as the Narragansett Creamery stall for some of their award-winning yogurt. They also have cheese and other dairy products, so make sure this is a stop for your trip! Overall a great market in a large park with plenty of shady trees. We'll be back!

Obviously if you know me, you know my dog is the only who drags me here every Saturday. We love to socialize and he gets his froyo. Sometimes I get coffee and a pastry. I love trying new veggies from here and getting plants too. Plus the artisan side is great and we love all the food trucks! I would just say though, some people are really disrespectful with where they park. If you are driving to this market, please do not park in a cross walk or blocking a driveway. I wish it was obvious and I didn't have to point this out.

Barden was a great place for apple picking! They have a ton of different varieties and everything…read morewas well marked. The apples were great quality and were delicious to eat and bake with later in the week. We parked a little far out from the entrance based on how busy it was (Sunday afternoon), but it was an easy walk. A lot of the apples that were ready to be picked and of good quality were at the top of the trees. I wish they offered ladders or picker tools to allow people to get good apples that can't be reached otherwise. Also, they had run out of apple cider donuts, which was a shame. We got some apple cider and fresh raspberries to take home, which were also both delicious. I would definitely pick our own raspberries next year if we return. We would definitely go back for a fun Fall activity each year!

I thought the layout was easy to follow and very organized. The space across the orchard was truly maximized. Rows upon rows of beautiful apples waiting to be picked. This weekend 9/15, Honeycrisp, Cortland, Gala, Liberty and McIntosh were ready for picking. My wife and I are apple feinds eating 1 or 2 a day each. We had the fridge space for cold storage so we did 1/2 bushel which hits you @ $55. We ended up getting 24.5lbs of apples which came out to $2.24/lb. Not bad for fresh off the tree. If you don't eat as many apples, it is a little on the price side because here are the prices: 1/2 bushel ($55 = admission for 5) 1 peck ($35 = admission for 3) 1/2 peck ($17.50 = admission for 1) 1/4 peck ($15.00 I think? = 1 child 10 and under) Quantity is certainly your friend here. Not an issue for us because we eat so many (enjoyed over 4 while picking em.... They were good and couldn't help myself). We also grabbed some apple cider donuts on the way out. 1/2 dozen for $11 and they're the best apple cider donuts I've ever had. They actually tasted like apple and not just straight up sugar. Heat up in the microwave for 10 seconds before enjoying and chefs kiss. Will be back here in a month! Looking forward to some fuji and evercrisp!
