Dear Friends of the Richmond Farmers Market,
Thank you for your persistent support of the market! Despite an unprecedented year of uncertainty, we have all - vendors, customers, employees, and board members alike - made the market a success!
It's hard to believe that September is almost upon us - but with late summer and fall, comes a bountiful harvest season. Our farmers have so much to share with us. Don't miss this special time of year -- come stock up on the seasonal gems (like tomatoes, peppers, garlic, beans, summer and winter squash, and microgreens) that they are growing for you! Check our our vendors on http://richmondfarmersmarketvt.org to pre-order or to find out more about their products.
Music -- The Flycatchers are a trio playing Americana Roots, Red Dirt Oklahoma and Texas Alt Country sounds with Dan Blondin on vocals, guitar and harp; Barry Lampke on vocals, guitar and mandolin; and Vicki Maier on vocals and guitar. They will generously sponsor us with their live performance this Friday, 8/28 from 3:30-5:3
Don't forget to spread the word about Crop Cash! For the months of August, September, and October, if you swipe an EBT card at out market, you will receive an additional $2 in Crop Cash coupons for every $1 you redeem off of your EBT card. Your EBT money can be matched up to $10 of EBT redeemed, for a maximum of $20 in Crop Cash at each weekly market. These extra crop cash dollars go straight into the hands of your local farmers. This program not only boosts the fresh fruit and vegetable consumption of community members, but increases the sales and income of our dedicated, invaluable farmers. It's a win-win. Watch this video to see how Crop Cash, a NOFA-VT program, is impacting your community. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vBn7JqNv3A&feature=youtu.be
