The Tiverton Farmers Market and the Tiverton Land Trust are pleased to host their second annual Harvest Market on Oct 16, 2022 (rain date October 23rd) at Pardon Gray Preserve, in Tiverton, RI from 12:00pm – 4:00pm. The Harvest Market is a specialty farmers market and community social event. Last year’s market attracted nearly 4,000 visitors.
We plan to make this year’s Harvest Market even better! We will have over 100 vendors ranging from local farms, food entrepreneurs, fine art, 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.
