Farmers Market at Ix, Saturday June 17

We are wishing everyone a happy Juneteenth celebration weekend, as well as Father’s Day on Sunday! If you are firing up the grill to celebrate, there are lots of delicious local meats for the grill as well as fish and tempeh available. Ask the farmer for some suggestions if you are into trying something new.

Speaking of something new, we are really excited to try Penny’s Imperfect Pizza this week. It is Olive Branch gardens newest venture and we have no doubt it will be delicious!

Market Central is committed to providing access to fresh foods to the community. We accept SNAP and match every dollar (up to $50) with coupons for free fresh produce! NEW to the market is the Senior Farm Market Fresh program which allows eligible seniors to receive $50 a month in vouchers for fresh fruits and vegetables. If you want to know if you are eligible, come ask us for more information. We will be posting which farms are able to receive the vouchers at the information booth.
