Farmstead is located at 186 Wayland Avenue in the heart of Wayland Square, Providence Rhode Island’s historic shopping district and adjacent to our sister restaurant, La Laiterie at Farmstead. Since 2002, Farmstead has been offering New England’s best selection of domestic and imported artisan cheeses and accompaniments. We pride ourselves on our care, knowledge and customer service.

Our focus at Farmstead is to develop close relationships with our producers, hand select quality foodstuffs for our store, devote ourselves to the craft of caring for such foods and to provide them at their peak of age, ripeness and flavor to our customers. We also pledge to educate our customers about the origin, history, heritage and significance of these foods and to enjoy and imbibe in the once lost, yet re-discovered art of crafting true, artisan foods.

Additionally, we are excited to announce that after an extensive re-model and renovation of our flagship store, we are now able to serve a casual, ‘a la carte’ lunch menu- complete with farm fresh salads, hearty, warming soups, artisan sandwiches, cheeseboards and charcuterie, as well as a short-but well assembled- list of wines and beers by the glass, from the hours of 11am to 4pm, Tuesdays through Saturdays.

Our passion and desire to create memorable food experiences for people is evident daily, and to shop with us is to take a step back in time when consumers had relationships with shopkeepers, and breads, pastries, meats & cheeses were sold over a handshake and a smile. Come feel the difference a Farmstead shopping experience can bring.
