Shop Local Every Thursday in Tiverton

If the opportunity to visit an innovative artist colony with a focus on agriculture isn’t enough to persuade you to visit Sandywoods Farmers’ Market in Tiverton, perhaps the oyster bar, which features fresh-farmed Sakonnet River oysters, will.

The Sandywoods Farmers’ Market is held at Sandywoods Farm, an arts and agricultural community in northeastern Tiverton, just off of Bulgarmarsh Road. The market is held every Thursday afternoon from 4-7pm, and features everything from produce, to grassfed beef, to popcorn, to those Sakonnet River oysters served at the oyster bar. It hosts vendors such as Cory’s Kitchen, Skinny Dip Farm, Beresford of Tiverton, Seapowet Shellfish, Rhode Corn and Sweet Tree Herbal Skincare.

In keeping with the arts and agricultural sprit, there are local craftspeopleand jewelers selling their wares at the market as well and live music is performed each week by the Patty and Buster Show.  43 Muse Way, Tiverton. 401-241-7349. Thursdays, 4-7pm through October 31.
