Red Planet Farm

Red Planet began in 2004 as a year-round urban farm on Providence's West End. Over the years, it has expanded its offerings and increased its acreage, yet maintained a strong focus on quality and community. Initially independent, the farm has found support within a vibrant local food community, contributing to the struggle for good vegetables grown in Rhode Island dirt.

Red Planet employs organic farming methods, though it is not certified organic due to a recent relocation. The farm emphasizes conservation and ecological balance, avoiding pesticides and GMO seeds entirely. Their commitment to chemical-free farming ensures that their produce is grown with the utmost respect for the environment.

Red Planet offers a 'Main Season' CSA from June through November and a 'Winter/Early Spring' CSA, thanks to their greenhouses. Full shares are priced at $500, while half-shares are $250. They also offer 'work-shares' for those willing to trade farm labor for produce. Beyond the CSA, the farm supplies high-quality produce to local restaurants through the Little City Growers' Co-op and participates in the Armory Park Farmers' Market in Providence every Thursday from June to October.
