I want to thank all of you for your patience. With this COVID-19 pandemic, it has been a difficult time for everyone. After much discusion and thinking on safety for both the vendors and patrons we have decided that May 23 will be our opening day for the Farmer's Market.
Just a remnder that we moved last year to 320 North Main Street.in the parking lot next to the Skating rink and the old Dillons store. We will be open from 8am-12pm.
There will be a list of rules that you will have to follow. These are just temporary for the moment.
Vendors, if you are wanting to utilize the Farmer's Market and sell your produce, baked goods, or other hand crafted goods, come on down and we will give you a packet with an applicaton to fill out and sign. You will need to turn the application in before you can sell with your $20 annual fee.
Those of you who have SNAP, we still have double up bucks available for those who come down to purchase produce and other goods. There is a limit of $20 with double up bucks, but no limit to how much SNAP you use.
To be able to use SNAP you will have to purchase tokens. The tokens are valued at 1 dollar and cannot be used to make change. If you don't use the entire value of the token, you will not get change back
Those who do not have cash but have other ways of paying we we have tokens that you can purchase that will be same as cash. If you don't use the whole value of the token, you will get change back.
We will do our best to keep the Farmer's Market as safe as possible. With the cooperation of both vendors and you, we can do that.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you there. Be safe and have a blessed day.
