First Congo

Description:

Farmer's Market HOURS: Sat 8:00 am - 1:00 pm (Spring & Summer Hours April - September); Winter Hours November through March: 9:00 am - 1:00 pm. Provides a farmer's market every Saturday year-round, usually 8:00 am - 1:00 pm from April - October and 9:00 am - 1:00 pm in the winter months in the parking lot of First Congregational Church, at the corner of Walker Avenue and South Cooper Street. Some of the vendors accept EBT cards. If a person would like to use their SNAP (or EBT) card at the farmers market, staff will swipe their card and exchange the amount dollar-for-dollar in tokens that can be used like cash at market vendors. They will also match their SNAP tokens with AARP Fresh Savings (double greens) tokens so they have twice the amount to spend at the market.
