Farm Fresh RI’s mission is to grow a local food system that values the environment, health, and quality of life of Rhode Island farmers and eaters. Through hands-on education programs which provide the information needed to make healthful choices about food that reflect people’s values, health, and culture, FFRI enriches our connection to local food, agriculture, nutrition, and the environment. They provide these services in a variety of settings across the state including K-12 schools, libraries, preschool/daycare settings, community centers, farms, senior centers and residences, and farmers markets.
