Summer Shopping
Lighthouse Coffee Roaster & Cafe, South County Bread Company, and AUCOIN (paper goods and table top) will be at the Tilted Barn Farmers Market Wednesdays from 4-7pm.
Pretty Provisions
Keep things simple, elegant, and potentially portable by starting with cheese and bread. Sourdough baguettes from Wakefield’s South County Bread Company are delicious served with a soft cheese like Highlawn Q ueen from Wedge in Warren. For a drink that’s sure to dazzle, head to Lighthouse Coffee Roasters & Cafe in North Kingstown for their Butterfly Lemonade, mixed with their Butterfly Pea Flower Tea to create a dreamy ombre effect. For the main course, make things effortless while supporting local by ordering take out from your favorite neighborhood restaurant, and cover dessert with treats from the local bakery. Easy peasy!
