KM Farmers’ Market opens on May 4
By Loretta Cozart
Kings Mountain Farmers’ Market will open on May 4, from 8:00 a.m. to noon, at 125 S Battleground Avenue, in the old Wells Fargo parking lot.
Anyone interested in participating in the market this season should apply online at the Foothills Farmers Market website http://www.foothillsfarmersmarket.com.
This year, the KM Farmers Market will partner with the Patrick Senior Center and Albemarle Corporation to assist our seniors. The first Saturday of each month during the season will be Senior Day, during which the Patrick Center will provide transportation for seniors to the market, while Albemarle will provide seniors with vouchers to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables.
Shoppers can also use their SNAP/EBT cards each week at Kings Mountain Farmers’ Market. When you use your EBT/SNAP card you can get up to $10 extra in Market Moolah to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables.
How It Works:
• Bring your EBT/SNAP card to the Information Booth to redeem as many $1 tokens as you would like.
• Each purchase receives up to an extra $10 in Market Moolah to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Use your tokens to shop at food tables throughout the market.
• SNAP tokens do not expire.
We look forward to seeing you at the Kings Mountain Farmers’ Market!
