The Location
Farm Fresh Rhode Island is a vibrant, community-driven event space that focuses on supporting local food systems and sustainable practices. This is the site of the Providence Go Club's weekly meetup and we couldn't think of a better place to host our first tournament! Located less than a 30 minute walk from the train station, the venue features a spacious indoor playing area with plenty of natural lighting and additional space for game reviews. Between rounds, visit one of the many small food and farm businesses located in the building. Breakfast is not included. During the break, lunch can be ordered at nearby Tallulah's Taqueria or Screaming Unicorn.
