Now Accepting Credit, Debit, and SNAP/EBT!

BIG NEWS!!  This Saturday, we will begin accepting credit, debit, and SNAP/EBT cards at our Saturday markets!  This is such an exciting time for the market, and we are looking forward to make shopping easier for our customers while helping increase access to fresh, local foods!

Here is what you need to know about using cards at the Market:

• Cards will be accepted at Saturday morning markets ONLY.
• Participating vendors will post a sign in their booths stating that they accept market tokens.
• When you arrive, visit the Market Information booth.  A volunteer will swipe your card and give you tokens.  
• You can choose how much market money you want.  Credit/debit tokens are $1 each; SNAP tokens are $0.50 each.
• Spend your tokens like cash with participating vendors.  Note: Change cannot be given for purchases made with SNAP tokens.
• Tokens do not expire.  If you do not spend your market money, you can use it next week, next month, or even next season!

While we hope that many shoppers will take advantage of this system, please remember that cash (especially in small bills) is still the preferred payment method for many of our market vendors!

This program is made possible by a partnership with the Center for Community Growth.  The Center actively engages people of diverse philosophies, faiths, and backgrounds to work together to form a more fair, equitable, and sustainable community.

The Market has also received support from Fresh Access.  Thank you!

This Saturday, we welcome Ruth Barkey to the Artisan Tent.  She creates figurines and other items from Sculpey clay.  Many of her newest pieces have a harvest or Halloween theme, so be sure to check them out!

We also welcome S&T Bank to the market.  For the next 3 weeks, they will be selling tickets to The Best Slice of Indiana, a fundraiser benefiting the ICCAP Power Pack Program.

Finally, when you finish shopping the Market Saturday, be sure to stop by the Northern Applachian Folk Festival,  happening in downtown Indiana all weekend!

See you at the market!

We are still scheduling for our special tents through the end of September.  If you are an artist, musician, or are involved with a community organization or kids' group, e-mail us at indianafarmmarket@gmail.com if you'd like to participate!
