Pumpkins, decorative and other gourds are beginning to show up at the market along with a few other fall items.
Be sure to check out Chilcote Farms’ homemade caramels! We wish to thank Debra, Hilda and Mary once again for their season-long volunteer service and support of the Fayette County Farmers’ Market and the activities the market engages in.
A big thanks also goes to Don and Sara Creamer, Fayette Co. Master Gardener Volunteers, for their efforts this season to supply the First Presbyterian Food Pantry with market produce. The Creamers have been securing produce donations from our vendors (and home gardeners), weighing it and taking it to the pantry for distribution to the food insecure. So far, they have collected over 400 pounds of fresh produce!
The following list contains the names and products of the vendors that expect to set up for the Saturday market. The market is open every Saturday morning from 8:30 to noon and is located in the municipal parking lot on the corner of South Main and East East streets.
SNAP EBT food benefit cards and credit/debit cards are accepted. We are offering a new program called veggie SNAPS and it permits those who use a SNAP EBT card for food items to receive matching dollar tokens (one for one) for additional fruits and vegetables! It’s a BOGO for fruit and vegetables, up to $10 EVERY market day! Be sure to ask David about the new veggie SNAPS produce program for SNAP EBT cards.
