ABOUT
What Cheer Fruit & Produce buys from small, organic farms in southern New England and Vermont and sells to wholesale customers in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts. We also distribute a selection of farm-made and small producer provisions including flowers, flours, cider, vegetable oils, sauerkraut, and switchel.
