| Get Your R.I. Cheese, Please |

| Sunday, 16 March 2008 | |
Here at NNN, we are big fans of local foods. Milk from Rhode Island farms is the freshest and tastiest you can get, and fresh fruits and vegetables from the farmers markets are a treat. Not only does the food taste great, every dollar you spend goes to support your neighbors and helps to protect green rural spaces in our little urbanized state.
 Now Narragansett Creamery, based in Providence, is selling locally made cheese. This is a first for Rhode Island! The cheese is made in small batches using local milk from family farms. All cheeses are kosher-certified and vegetarian friendly. You can find Narragansett Creamery Cheese at the Winter Farmers Market at AS220 on Saturdays, Venda Ravioli on Federal Hill, and Farmstead Cheese Shop in Wayland Square. Now it is also available in more places, including Eastside Marketplace, Local 121 downtown, Olga's Cup & Saucer in the Jewlery District, and The Cheese Plate, on State Street in Warren.
Also, Scratch Farm, a 1.5-acre organic farm in Cranston, will offer Narragansett Creamery cheeses as part of their CSA (community supported agriculture) program. Pre-purchase vegetable, egg, cheese or flower 'shares' and help keep local agriculture vibrant.
