0

Fayette County Memorial Hospital (FCMH) partners with the Fayette County Farmers’ Market this Saturday. Stop by the FCMH booth to meet and talk to hospital staff and providers, and sample simple, healthy foods prepared by the FCMH chef, James Vasser.

A healthier you and a healthier environment! Those interested may pick up recipe cards as well as reusable shopping bags (these bags will look great with the lovely Farm Market bags available for only $2 at the info booth) to shop for your weekly groceries, advertise the market and our hospital partner in healthy lifestyles, and make a statement about reducing plastic waste. The FCMH booth will have other surprises, including Tanger PinkStyle cards, which benefit the mammography program and raffle tickets.

The market is open 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, Senior Farm Market coupons and credit/debit cards are accepted. Those using the SNAP EBT card for produce receive matching dollar “Produce Perks” tokens ($1 for $1) for additional fruits and vegetables. So,”buy one, get one” for fruit and vegetables, up to $20 EVERY market day.

All first responders (police, EMTs and firefighters), teachers, medical providers and Farm Bureau members may pick up $5 coupons every week through the end of September and the close of the market. These coupons may be used to make farm market purchases anytime during the season.
