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 did the 10:30am Goat Hike at Gather Farm on Saturday, August 23, 2025. Purchasing tickets online…read morewas an easy process. There were 2 types of tickets: Goat Hiker (ages 10 and up walking a leashed goat) for $30.00 each or Hiker Only (NOT walking a leashed goat) for $20.00 each. I purchased 4 Goat Hiker tickets. We pulled into the gravel farm driveway and parked in the farm parking lot by the greenhouses. There was a sandwich board with directions to the goats and a table with a waiver to complete. Shortly after 10:30am, Aidan Simmons welcomed and prepared us by running through all the instructions and rules for the hike. We choose our own goat with a leash from the herd. The goats already knew the way and at some point I let go of the leash and let the goat walk by herself. We walked the flat grass paths around the farm fields and through the forest as Aidan shared the history of her farming, the story of her goats, and some great goat facts. She is very passionate and really cares about the goats well being. We finished our hike about 12:00pm. Aidan was very knowledgeable and it was fun to see the different goats personality and them grazing plants and leaves off the trees.

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.

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.

Admission is always free to enter Farm Fresh Providence Farmers Market and no tickets are necessary. The market is spacious and wonderful to walk around. Ever since moving to RI, I have been to Farm Fresh Providence Farmers Market multiple times. The prices are a bit more than a local supermarket, but I still enjoy checking out the local farms produce and items. There is something for everyone-honey, kimchi, and so much more. The most recent time I went, there were even alpacas that you can pet. At Farm Fresh RI Market Hall, there are also some other local businesses that you can check out. Some are Anchor Toffee, New Harvest Coffee Roasters, Providence Brewing Company, Rhed's Hot Sauce, Tallulah's Taqueria, and Wright's Creamery. Also, there are usually food trucks outside. If you are looking for a Saturday morning activity, this is a good one.

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!
