National Farmers' Market Week, Aug. 4-10
The Winter Farmers' Market opens Dec. 7, 2019, but we are hard at work planning our next winter season, which will run December 2019 through March 2020!
First, we are proud to serve Anderson County by accepting and doubling #SNAP benefits up to $20 per day for fresh fruits and veggies. Did you know 20% of our city receives SNAP and cannot shop easily at the market otherwise?
Second, we also donate 10% of vendor fees to a local food bank.
Third, we offer a FREE weekly program called the Power of Produce Club (POP Club) for children. If a child takes 2 bites of a veggie, they get $2 to spend on fruits & veggies in the market.
These are our ways of giving to the Oak Ridge community, and promoting health by connecting local farmers to the public!
VENDORS - Applications will be online soon at www.GrowOakRIdge.org.
