Fisherman's Memorial Park Farmers Market is part of a national network of farmers markets that have grown substantially over the past two decades.

Fisherman's Memorial Park Farmers Market contributes to that network by giving Narragansett-area growers and food producers a reliable, recurring venue for direct sales.

For consumers, the practical benefit of shopping at Fisherman's Memorial Park Farmers Market is freshness. Produce sold at a farmers market is typically harvested within 24 to 72 hours of sale — far less time than the average transit and distribution time for produce in conventional supply chains. That shorter journey from field to table has real implications for flavor, nutritional density, and shelf life at home. Strawberries bought at Fisherman's Memorial Park Farmers Market on a Saturday morning are simply a different product from strawberries that have traveled across the country in a refrigerated truck.

The economic impact of a market like Fisherman's Memorial Park Farmers Market is also worth noting. When you spend money at Fisherman's Memorial Park Farmers Market, most of that money stays within the Narragansett area. Small farms and food businesses that sell direct-to-consumer do not depend on wholesale distribution margins, which means a larger percentage of each sale goes back to the producer — and back into the local economy. That is a meaningful difference from shopping at a national chain retailer.

Shopping at Fisherman's Memorial Park Farmers Market means investing directly in the Narragansett local economy and supporting the farmers and makers who produce food for the region.
