Sometimes bucking tradition results in some pretty satisfying – and tasty – rewards. Take farmers markets. Traditionally, farmers markets are open from spring through fall, taking a break during the coldest months of the year and leaving us to find our fresh fruits, veggies, and baked goods elsewhere. This farmers market in Bristol, Rhode Island, however, has chartered a new path, welcoming vendors and shoppers year-round.
Start a new Saturday morning tradition, if you haven't already, with a visit to the year-round Farmers Market at Mount Hope Farm in Bristol.
Held every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the only thing that changes with the seasons is where you'll explore vendor booths. The barn hosts the farmers market in the winter, so you can stay cozy while you shop.
Earmark enough time to explore the many vendors, which may include 7 Kings Market and Navad Bakery, that sell everything from fresh fruits to homemade bread.
Summertime promises several unique opportunities, including yoga with Bristol Yoga Studio from June through August, and visits from the URI Master Gardeners on the third Saturday of the month from May through September.
