Company description The Farm to Table mission statement comes full circle with fresh vegetables grown on Matunuck Vegetable Farm on Potter Pond in Matunuck, RI. The property was originally owned by Captain John Potter in the 18th century, where a vegetable farm was operated and used for trade.  The vegetable farm received organic certification in 2015.
 

Today, produce grown includes herbs such as rosemary and sage, salad greens, arugula, spinach, microgreens and Asian greens. Vegetables include carrots, kale, peas, beets, tomatoes, peppers, fennel, broccoli, cucumbers and many more. The vegetable farmers use non-chemical, responsible and organic growing techniques. All vegetables are grown directly from seeds.

In keeping with his commitment to the local waters and Rhode Island’s natural bounty, Perry Raso and his Matunuck team utilize green initiatives whenever possible. These range from sustainable aquaculture, responsible and non-chemical growing methods on the vegetable farm, to compostable take-home containers for the restaurant.
