MIDDLETOWN, R.I._ Each Saturday morning at the Aquidneck Grower’s market, Pat’s Pastured is offering customers a taste of their high-quality meats. Bringing a mobile grill to the market each Saturday brings the grass-fed and free-range difference directly to the customers at the market. After the customer’s taste a breakfast sandwich outside, they can head into the market and purchase the same products that they have just sampled.

At the mobile grill Pat’s Pastured offers breakfast sandwiches made fresh to order, with each product sold for retail inside. Priced at eight dollars a sandwich you may feel cheated as a customer, until you taste the difference. Pat’s Pastured has been running business on Briggs-Boesch farm in East Greenwich, Rhode Island since 2002. Allowing animals to naturally graze the fields, and eat the products that they have been accustomed to eating, makes an enormous difference in the product.

Switching to grass-fed beef, instead of eating beef that is corn-fed saves 17,333 calories per year, in addition to numerous health benefits. Animals are meant to graze naturally, and eat grass out of the field. Pat’s Pastured company slogan says it all.

“Pasture raised, free-range, and grass-fed goodness from Li’l Rhody”

Pat’s Pastured attends the Aquidneck Grower’s market weekly selling their products made to order or inside out off coolers to customers. Similar to Aquidneck Farm, they offer a store on site at the farm selling their product. Instead of stating that their product is better than the competitions, they support one another. As the two suppliers of grass-fed beef in Rhode Island, they both advocate for the grass-fed difference and praise the product that one another brings to the market each week.
