The Bernalillo Farmers Market opened its 8th season on June 21, but the market is still looking for food vendors.
Located at 370 Rotary Park Rd., the outdoor market will be open every Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. through Oct. 25. The Bernalillo Farmers Market features over a dozen local farmers and artisans, allowing the community to come together to enjoy and purchase locally sourced products.
Each market will feature live music and community groups.
“Our market supports local growers and provides fresh produce to the community,” said Andi McClenahan, market organizer. “We’re really excited to see our little market grow.”
The Bernalillo Farmers Market accepts EBT and WIC and participates in the Double Up Food Bucks program. For every dollar of EBT benefit you receive, the federal government gives an additional dollar of benefit to purchase any fresh produce or slightly processed food with no added salt or sugar.
Organizers are still offering vendor space for community members to sell fresh, local produce and other handmade goods. The vendor fee is $5 per visit or $50 for the entire season. Proper licensing is required for all food preparers and servers.
For more information on the market, or to apply as a vendor, contact McClenahan at bernalillofarmersmarketnm@gmail.com or send a message to the market’s Facebook at Bernalillo Farmers Market NM.
