PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR CABRAL PARK SITE IN FOX POINT IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING SUMMER 2021 SIGN-UPS
ROLLING SIGNUPS FOR THE MT. PLEASANT SITE WILL CONTINUE TO BE OFFERED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SUMMER 2021 SEASON
Produce in the Park connects current Providence residents with weekly shares of local, sustainably-grown food. This season, we are offering produce shares as well as shares of eggs, bread, and meat. This program is brought to you by Partnership for Providence Parks (P3), Brown Market Shares Program (BMSP), and Providence City Councilwoman Jo-Ann Ryan and Councilman John Goncalves. We are excited that you are interested in a Summer 2021 Market Share!

PiP offers both full-cost and subsidized shares to make fresh, local produce accessible to all members of the Providence community. By offering lower-cost share options, weekly payment plans, and direct contact with our Finance Coordinator, the Subsidized Program works to cut across financial and communication barriers that might otherwise prohibit potential shareholders from joining the program.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS THE SIGN-UP FOR SUBSIDIZED SHARES ONLY. The price for a subsidized share is $14/week or $4.50 for EBT members. Sign-ups for our full-cost program can be found at
https://forms.gle/dJA6rakNo7VWYimf7. Our subsidized program is open to all individuals who have current financial barriers. We will also be accepting SNAP EBT.
