Asparagus Fest

April 30, 2020 - Due to the state's COVID19 health/safety guidelines, this event has been cancelled. Check back later this spring/summer for other celebrations of local food at farmfreshri.org!

Celebrate the start of growing season!

Join us on a very special tour of the asparagus fields at Four Town Farm - and pick your own pound of asparagus to bring home! We'll enjoy local wine expertly paired and donated by Campus Fine Wines, and a wide array of delectable asparagus dishes created by renowned chefs from Johnson & Wales University, College of Culinary Arts.

On the tour, we'll learn how asparagus is propagated, grown, and maintained on this 150-acre fifth-generation family-run farm - located where the four towns of East Providence, Barrington, Seekonk, and Swansea meet. After the tractor-pulled farmer tour through Four Town Farm's asparagus fields, we'll return to the gorgeous farm stand for music and refreshments.

A Fundraiser for Farm Fresh Rhode Island

This event is a fundraiser. All proceeds will support Farm Fresh Rhode Island. As a 501c3 nonprofit, Farm Fresh RI will put the proceeds of your ticket purchase right to work for our local food system.

Our Community Access programs and Food System Enterprise services offer Rhode Islanders greater opportunity to choose nutritious, locally grown foods.
Through community events, Farm to School programming, recipe development and local food tastings, we educate the community about the important role fresh food plays in a healthy lifestyle.
The most cost-effective way to preserve our region's farmland is to keep farmers farming. Our marketplaces and wholesale services for local growers and food makers work to do just that.
By stimulating connections between farmers and eaters, we are also helping the local economy thrive, creating new jobs and opportunities in the food and agriculture sectors.
