Sustaining the Market

Hi Friends!

The Williamstown Farmers Market is dedicated to offering our community fresh produce and unique products from local farmers, food makers, and artisans. We take pride in our farming community and in supporting those who steward its land. We are also dedicated to providing access to healthy food options for our food insecure neighbors.

A few things to know:

Market Bucks enable patrons to use credit cards in a central location to be spent with any vendor at the market.

SNAP & the SNAP match program - We also have redoubled our commitment to making fresh, local produce accessible to all. The market not only accepts SNAP/EBT but matches every SNAP/EBT dollar spent, up to $30 per transaction each week. Additionally, we purchase leftover produce, bread, and other goods from our vendors to be donated to local food insecurity organizations.

WIC coupons can be used to buy fresh fruits and veggies at the market.

At the end of each market, the Produce Buy Back program, one of the components of the Community Essentials Initiative, kicks in and the market (with the support of grant funding) purchases leftover veggies, fruits, and eggs to take to local hunger relief organizations.

The WFM is a place for us all! Every Saturday morning from May 18 until November 2, the heart of Williamstown is bustling with lively music, shopping, eating, and conversations with friends and neighbors. We invite you to join us to grow a stronger community. Your support will allow us to continue our role as a hub to bring together those who care about our town’s land and people.

 Please consider supporting us at one of the following giving levels:

 $25-$50 - provides funding for kids’ activities at the market

 $50-$100 - helps hire local high school students to support the set up and break down of the market

 $100-$250 – maintains affordable vendor rates

 $250 - $500 - assists in managing and allowing expansion of the market's food insecurity programs

 $500 and above – provides security for the market's future (special benefit earned!)

Even if you are unable to make a gift at this time, please remember that your support includes visiting us on Saturdays and spreading the word to others! We look forward to seeing you this season!

 Sincerely,

 The Williamstown Farmers’ Market Board of Directors
