BLACKBIRD FARM’S FARMERS MARKETS OPEN WITH A NEW ADDITION,

THE MOO MOO ICE CREAM TRAILER

Farmers Markets Begin This Weekend

SMITHFIELD, RI (June 12, 2018) – Blackbird Farm, one of the most-acclaimed beef and pork farms in New England, opens their 2nd farmers market season with an array of local vendors and brand new all-local ice cream spot, the Moo Moo Ice Cream Trailer. The markets will take place at their Farm Stand on Friday evenings from 4-7pm, and again on Sundays from 11am-2pm.


The Friday farmers market will take place every Friday evening (weather permitting) from June 15 through October 19 and the Sunday farmers market will take place every Sunday (weather permitting) from June 17 through October 21. Follow Blackbird Farm on Facebook (@blackbirdfarm) for Market updates and any possible weather cancellations. The farm stand is located at 660 Douglas Pike, Smithfield, RI 02917--entrance to the market and farm stand parking is off of Limerock Road.


The Moo Moo Ice Cream Trailer, owned by the Blackbird Farm family, is a brand new addition this year and is the first of its kind in the area. It was converted from a horse trailer into an ice cream trailer and will offer 12 flavors of ice cream. The ice cream is from Winsor SB Dairy in Johnston, RI, which gets all their milk from Rhody Fresh. In addition, Moo Moo will be offering ice cream floats and sundaes. The soda used for the floats will come from Yacht Club Soda in N. Providence, RI. Moo Moo will have extended hours posted at the trailer.


Farmers markets are for people from all walks of life and all ages who share a common belief that farmers and local producers are a vital part of our community. This market will support the local food economy, showcase a wide variety of products and tap into a region of the state that currently doesn’t offer an extensive outdoor market. The Blackbird Farm Farmers Market will support local farmers and producers, improve access to fresh fruits, vegetables and other farm products, encourage sustainability, and educate the community on the importance of local foods.


Vendors will include Blackbird Farm, Havenwood Farm Flowers, Ocean State Pepper Co., SanoBe Superfoods, The Farm in RI, Angell Farm, Foxboro Cheese Co., Olga's Cup and Saucer, and Radish House Farms. A variety of products will be offered, such as: beef and pork, seasonal produce, bouquets, superfood peanut butters, bread, pastries, eggs, edible flowers, herbs, plants, yogurt, cheese, packaged seasonings, beverages, and more.
