I hope you have been enjoying the “vendor parade” we’ve been featuring on our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/independencefarmersmarketva/ You can read a bit about our vendors and find out what they sell. If you ever want to check on our vendors, you can also find their information on our webpage. The link is here https://independencefarmersmarket.org/meetourvendors/.
Our webpage is also where you can find our newsletter-it’s under “blog” as well as our events. The full schedule is here.
You’ll get to see everyone in person SOON. I look forward to seeing you May 1st for our Mother’s Day Craft Fair AND Cooking Day. Guest Chefs Dean McRae and Loren Webster will be cooking with herbs. We’ll have a full house of vendors and IFM Kids Bucks. We are pleased to continue to offer a $30 Match for fresh fruits and vegetables for SNAP purchases as well as Fresh Match Plus. Fresh Match Plus is also administered by Virginia Fresh Match (VFM) through a HOPE grant from Wellspring Foundation of Southwest Virginia. It allows us to offer vouchers for fresh fruits and vegetables for Medicaid, WIC, and Farm Market Fresh users.
