This Saturday we are saying a special thank you to Bethany Medical for their sponsorship of the Farmers Market for the past two years. Their support has allowed our SNAP customers to double the amount of fresh produce, vegetable plants, meats, eggs, and baked goods they can purchase at the Market through a generous donation to our Double the Bucks program. Staff from Bethany Medical and the Lenny Peters Foundation will be at the Market on Saturday to meet customers and to share copies of Dr. Peters' book Barefoot to Benefactor: My Life Story of Faith and Courage.
Kick off your Halloween a few days early at the Market!
Dress up the kids and the dogs and join our Halloween parade! Urban farmer Andre Davis from Growing High Point will lead a parade around the Market starting at 10:00 am. Children's staff from the library will have some little Halloween prizes for everyone who participates. Treats for dressed-up doggos, too.
And... Friends of the Library have donated a lovely fall gift basket. Stop by the Farmers Market table and enter this free raffle.
This Saturday's Community Partner is:
A Simple Gesture Stop by their table and learn how YOU can help address hunger in High Point -- you will be surprised how easy it can be.Attention all kids ages 4 - 12 Bring your grown-up to the Farmers Market table to find out about the Power of Produce (PoP), a new program we have this Market season. PoP participants will receive $3 in PoP tokens each Saturday to spend at one of our food or plant vendors. You can spend them then, or save them up each week to buy something bigger...like a watermelon! You'll learn about selecting fresh and healthy food AND about saving money and planning your purchases. PLUS -- the first 25 PoP kids each Saturday will get a take home craft or activity.
The PoP program is made possible with funding from the Greater High Point Food Alliance. For more information about PoP, e-mail Sarah at sarah.nareau@highpointnc.gov. Or, you can call her at (336) 883-3667. FYI...
The Farmers Market accepts EBT (SNAP) and offers a Double the Bucks program thanks to generous donations by Bethany Medical and the Greater High Point Food Alliance. How does Double the Bucks work? Bring your EBT card to the Farmers Market table and we'll double whatever amount you put on your EBT card. For example, $5 on your EBT card = $10 in Farmers Market tokens.
Plus -- Guilford Community Cares Network clients can use their GCCN orange cards and a photo ID to get $10 in fresh produce each Saturday.
Each Saturday, Friends of the High Point Public Library offer gently used books for sale. Hardbacks are $1 and paperbacks are 50 cents. All proceeds support library projects and programs.
We are dog friendly! Well-behaved dogs on leash are welcome. Stop by the Farmers Market table with your pup for pats, a treat, and free poop-bag holder.
See you at the Market!
