The University of Rhode Island Vegetable ​Production ​Program ​​addresses the needs of all vegetable producers​ in Rhode Island and surrounding communities​. Whether ​it’s a one quarter acre ​operation ​or 400 acres, ​URI provides the most current ​science-based ​information in sustainable and profitable crop production practices​ to growers through site visits, newsletters, on-farm workshops and more. Our work spans research and Extension, with applied research conducted at the Gardner Crops Research Center (affectionately known as ​the ​URI ​Agronomy Farm)​ that is then translated for practical application through Cooperative Extension​ workshops and events.
