Foodie & Farm Events in Southern Rhode Island: Mark Your Calendars!!


Get your calendars out and your green sharpies, I’ve got two great events for you to write in and attend in southern Rhode Island.

The first event consists of one of my favorite things: bread & bread making. The class will be called "Bread Baking 101". It is on Tuesday, April 19th from 2:30pm  to 5:30pm at the Peace Dale Congregational Church in Wakefield, RI. The Charlestown Land Trust (CLT), the Jonny Cake Center (JCC), and Southern RI Volunteers (SRIV) have teamed together to produce this great event for you. Space and food is semi limited, an RSVP would be greatly appreciated (even if it’s a few hours ahead of the event). Karen Jarret will be teaching you how to make bread and you will be able to take a loaf of rising bread home.

The second event is the 10th year anniversary of the East Farm Spring Festival. This will be on May 7th from 10am-2pm at East Farm. The URI Outreach Center organizes this great event for families, foodies, locavores, those interested in environmental issues, gardeners, fish enthusiasts, farm lovers, and just about anyone. It is a great event to bring children to or to bring the child in you to have fun in the spring time. A “Paint a Fish Tote” booth will be available along with free pH soil testing, food, music, and more. It is a blast and a wonderful time outside. If you’re looking for compost bins, gardening tips, and fun, this is the place for you.

Hope you’ve marked your calendars!!! I will see you at these fun events!
