Historic Marble from the

RI State House Available

Farm Fresh RI discovered a tremendous amount of marble that was destined for the RI State House when it arrived from Georgia in the 1890’s and landed at an enormous cutting facility (built just to cut the State House Marble) in the Valley neighborhood of Providence. Several years ago Farm Fresh bought the exact 3.2 acre cutting facility site and built our new headquarters. See this link for the full story and details on how to try to get some fantastic historic materials for your next project.

Join ASLA Connecticut for the first Residential Design Expo since 2019! After a long COVID pause, we are excited to once again offer this full-day continuing education program on Thursday, September 12 at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville, CT.

Sessions will cover business management practices such as starting a firm, contract writing, and laws and codes affecting licensure; small business promotion, including social media and newer strategies; networking for the design professional and latest trends in the industry; career advancement tips for younger professionals including how to practice responsibly; and more. Experts in a variety of fields will share their knowledge in presentations and panel discussions. And the day will of course include Expo segments where designers will have the opportunity to visit vendor tables to learn about the latest residential products and services.
