Farmer's market update for June 19, 2021
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.
This week, we welcome Barnett Cattle Farm to the market. They raise grass-fed, all natural local Poll Hereford Beef in the Cove City area. Below you will find a list of their products. Get your grill hot and sizzling to cook a fabulous Forth of July feast.
