Little Compton, RI - Mark your calendars for a summer of fun at the Sakonnet Green Market!

The Tiverton Farmers Market is celebrating its fifth anniversary this June and is expanding its offerings. This summer, the Tiverton Farmers Market (TFM) is collaborating with Sakonnet Vineyards to create a new event called the Sakonnet Green Market. This farmers market will take place on Thursday afternoons, from 3 PM to 6 PM, on the grounds of Sakonnet Vineyard, starting June 19th and continuing until August 28th.

You can enjoy a diverse range of vendors, including local farms and apiaries, food makers & producers. The lineup will feature bakers, local seafood producers, jams and jellies, BBQ sauces, spices, pasta, herbalists, fresh flowers, textiles, jewelry, pottery & ceramics, clothing, artists, and local non-profits.

The focus of TFM is to connect communities through the platform of a market. Join us Thursday afternoons at the vineyard! Stop by the tasting room to experience the growing wine list and menu. Enjoy a small plate from the kitchen, sip on a glass of wine, stroll through the grounds, and explore the market vendors. It’s a safe and enjoyable atmosphere in the countryside.

“We are thrilled to partner with Tiverton Farmers Market to bring the Sakonnet Green Market to life here at the vineyard. This collaboration is a celebration of local agriculture, community, and sustainability—values that are at the heart of everything we do. We look forward to welcoming neighbors, makers, and visitors to enjoy the best of our region in a setting that’s uniquely Sakonnet.” – Marissa Stashenko, Director of Operations
