AROUND RHODE ISLAND

INDOOR MARKETS OPEN TOMORROW, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6

Farm Fresh Rhode Island's Wintertime Farmers' Market at Hope Artiste Village (1005 Main Street, Pawtucket  10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.) opens tomorrow - a relief since the last couple of Saturdays have been cold and/or windy at the outdoor market. There are  new vendors and the product array is expanding to include fresh pasta, vegan chocolates, etc. Opening day will feature pickle judging - local picklers and fermenters will submit cukes, sauerkraut, whatever you can brine or ferment - for judging by local chefs and editors between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. But the BIG NEWS is the addition of a new market day. Beginning November 10, the market will be open every Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Look for all the info here:

Also opening tomorrow is the COASTAL GROWERS' MARKET (Lafayette Mill, 650 Ten Rod Road a/k/a rte 102, North Kingstown  10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.). The market has an impressive group of vendors and, as at the Pawtucket market, there is plenty to eat right on the spot. Go to the website for more details www.coastalmarket.org
