For those who consider cheese a food group of its own there’s a new destination in Providence–Farmstead Lunch in Downcity. It’s from the same folks who own Farmstead and La Laiterie in Wayland Square.

They offer a selection of sandwiches, salads, tortas, cured meats, cheeses and baked goods and the entire menu is 100% American made artisanal food. It’s located down the block from last year’s Craftland. Alas, I left Providence for San Francisco before they opened, but it’s on the itinerary the next time I’m back in town.
