Grass-Fed Beef in Rhode Island: Where to Buy
Rhode Island may be the smallest state, but it has a disproportionately strong local food scene. The state's agricultural districts in South County and the Blackstone Valley support several direct-sale farms, Providence's retail and restaurant market drives strong demand for premium beef, and the state's farmers markets are excellent. For a state this size, every Rhode Island address is also within easy reach of southeastern Massachusetts and Connecticut farms. Dirty Dog Farm, a New York-based direct-to-consumer operation, includes Rhode Island in its weekly Northeast delivery route.
