Farmers Markets
and Farm Stands
This is the time of year when first harvests of fresh fruit and vegetables from our local farms are hitting farm stands and farmers markets.
Blackstone Valley has an abundance of markets and farm stands so you never have to go without fresh veggies.
We recently visited Goodwin Brothers Farm Stand in North Smithfield and picked up some tomatoes and raspberries as well as a loaf of bread from a local bakery. There is nothing like fresh veggies in your salad.
Other farm stands to check out are:
· Jaswell Farm, Smithfield
· Old Orchard Farm, North Smithfield
· Butterfly Farm, Lincoln

President Trump says countries that don't support the U.S. acquiring Greenland could face new tariffs. Speaking at a round table at the White House, Trump said he may have to put the duties in place because the U.S. needs Greenland for national security. The President made the remark when talking about how his threat of tariffs worked to secure "most favored nation" drug prices.
