All tagged local farmers
We are so very happy to offer FRESH BUCKS at our market. Fresh Bucks are funded by a grant awarded to us by RAFI(Rural Advancement Foundation International) , which enables the market to give free tokens to match an EBT purchase up to $20.00. In other words, spend up to $20.00 from an EBT card and receive up to $20 in free tokens, for a total of $40.00 for one to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables.
To say the least, 2020 has been an unusual year. Despite all the new entrances and exits, rules and guidelines, our market has managed to survive for our farmers and craftsmen without catastrophe
The market will be open this Saturday, next Tuesday, December 22nd and the Tuesday before New Year's Eve, December 29th, from 8 until 2 o' clock. After that, it will be closed until strawberry season which will be sometime in April, 2021.
