Located in a historic mill building at 545 Pawtucket Ave. in Pawtucket, RI— just a stone’s throw from Hope Artiste Village— you could truly make a shopping day of it by tagging on this locale!

You must access the Pawtucket Farmers Market inside Jordan’s Jungle, so it would be very hard not to spot something you love as you move through! Once in the Farmer’s Market room, you’ll have options ranging from teas and smoothies, to funky-flavored potato chips, loaded waffles, cookies, gifts and more! Vendors often rotate, so you’ll want to keep coming to see what’s offered each week besides produce.
Under the Sun Farm is a regular vendor, providing the majority of the market’s produce. Here you can find not only farm-fresh produce like lettuce and apples, but also herbs, flowering plants, local honey, local dairy, eggs, meat and grocery. They also offer seasonal items such as pumpkins and mums, Christmas wreaths, etc. And yes, they do welcome SNAP & HIP.
Check out the beautiful wooden cutting boards and spoons skillfully handmade by the market’s Assistant Manager Juan Ferrer, proprietor of Spoon & Board. The folks at Karakatoa offer healthy powdered drink mixes in unique, tasty flavors. You might consider patronizing them as they are very active in Operation Stand Down collections for food and personal hygiene items.
