Rhody’s International Farmers Market
The premier supermarket in the Northeast.
Introducing New England’s world market with foods from over 40 nations.
To enrich our community with a diverse selection of foods and recipe ingredients from their home countries, delivered through a vertically integrated business and supply chain.
We envision a vibrant hub where food brings people together, creating stronger, more resilient communities. By providing access to fresh, high-quality produce and culinary offerings from around the world alongside local farmers, artisans, and small businesses, we cultivate inclusive spaces that foster a profound sense of belonging and supports the vitality of the local economy.
Limited Availability: Specialty stores may not always carry all the necessary ingredients, leading to frustration and compromises in the final dish.
Time-Consuming: Shopping at multiple stores consumes valuable time, with 2-3 hours weekly spent on ingredient sourcing.
Costly Alternatives: Pre-made dishes are expensive, lacking freshness and authenticity, resulting in an average weekly spend of $40 per person or $100 per family of four.
The Greater Providence area boasts vibrant enclaves of immigrant communities. Many residents crave the diverse and intense flavors of international cuisines but struggle to recreate these dishes at home.

Our Mission
To enrich our community with a diverse selection of foods and recipe ingredients from their home countries, delivered through a vertically integrated business and supply chain.
Our Vision
We envision a vibrant hub where food brings people together, creating stronger, more resilient communities. By providing access to fresh, high-quality produce and culinary offerings from around the world alongside local farmers, artisans, and small businesses, we cultivate inclusive spaces that foster a profound sense of belonging and supports the vitality of the local economy.
A strong and resilient community prioritizes sustainability and food security. We envision a 50,000 square foot indoor market that seamlessly integrates farm-to-table hot kitchens featuring global cuisines, a bakery and confectionery, and a juice bar. This commercial hub will not only provide exceptional food experiences but also become a community cornerstone where people gather, share, and thrive together.
Challenges
For home cooks and chefs, sourcing ingredients can be a hassle. Running between stores wastes time and often forces compromises on quality. It also strains our budgets, especially when pricey alternatives tempt us.
Why do this?
The Greater Providence area boasts vibrant enclaves of immigrant communities. Many residents crave the diverse and intense flavors of international cuisines but struggle to recreate these dishes at home. Challenges include the limited availability of ingredients and the difficulty of sourcing them from multiple locations.
Streamlining this process would be transformative, saving time, money, and ensuring families can cook their favorite dishes affordably and without compromise.
So how what is a sustainable solution to high labor costs in the food preparation process, maintaining quality and freshness, and managing a global supply chain efficiently?
Solution:
A vertically integrated supermarket that sources, imports, and prepares foods from 40 countries in-house, ensuring higher quality control and cost efficiency.
