The Harvest Market is a specialty farmers market and community social event. Last year’s market attracted nearly 4,000 visitors. Parking is $5 per carload.
We plan to make this year’s Harvest Market even better! We will have over 100 vendors ranging from local farms, food entrepreneurs, fineart, artisans, makers and demonstrations. There will be live music and plenty of food available from four local food trucks.
Pull up a hay bail and listen to live music or one of several, new this year, “Tent Talks” or explore the 220 acres of Tiverton’s Pardon Gray Preserve on one of the regularly scheduled guided hikes. Come out and enjoy the autumn weather with your family and friends to support these two important Tiverton organizations. Schedule listed below.
This year’s Harvest Market is also certified by the DEM as a green event. The mission of the Tiverton Land Trust (TLT) and the Tiverton Farmers Market (TFM) is to preserve the rural character and scenic beauty of Tiverton, Rhode Island for generations to come. It is also a value of TLT to take responsibility for the stewardship of resources. Certifying the Harvest Market as a RIDEM green event this year helps TLT meet its mission, values, and respect Pardon Gray Preserve!
