Aquidneck Year-Round Growers Markets

The Aquidneck Year-Round Growers Markets represent a true community gem that has adapted to serve the Newport area through innovative seasonal location strategies, ensuring year-round access to fresh, local products while accommodating the unique rhythms of coastal New England life. This market system operates with three distinct locations that change with the seasons, demonstrating remarkable flexibility and commitment to maintaining consistent community service regardless of weather or seasonal challenges.

During the summer months from May through October, the market operates at two convenient locations: Saturdays from 9:00 AM to noon at Embrace Home Loans at 25 Enterprise Drive in Middletown, and Wednesdays from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Memorial Boulevard in Newport. These summer locations provide easy access for both residents and the many visitors who come to enjoy Newport's famous attractions, creating opportunities for tourists to experience authentic Rhode Island agricultural products while supporting local farmers.

The winter operation from November through April moves to The Patio at Stoneacre Gardens on Thames Street, maintaining the same Saturday 9:00 AM to noon schedule while adjusting Wednesday hours to 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM to accommodate shorter daylight hours and winter weather conditions. The market specializes in distinctive New England foods that showcase the region's agricultural heritage, including locally produced honey that reflects Rhode Island's diverse flora, grass-fed beef from local farms, seasonal produce that celebrates New England's growing cycles, fresh-baked goods that embody traditional recipes and techniques, seasonal berries, fresh lobster that highlights Rhode Island's coastal location, and locally roasted coffee that brings warmth and community to every season.
