“You’ll see an even bigger selection of selection of locally grown produce this year, including red, ripe tomatoes,’ said Rebecca Williams, market director. ’Our growers are really stretching the season with their greenhouses and hoop houses. We have tremendous variety at the Winter Farmers Market this season.

’Plus, we’re really excited to be able to offer the regional ’Fresh Savings Program’ this year,’ Williams added.  The program doubles a shopper’s SNAP (food stamp) benefits, up to $20 for fruits and vegetables.
