Dear ,
Welcome to this edition of our Columbus County Community Farmers Market E-newsletter.
 We invite you to stop by our new Information Booth near the main entrance of the Farmers Market. Volunteers are helping us staff the booth which has community information, health brochures, recipes, etc. You may also purchase Farmers Market merchandise including environmentally-friendly reusable shopping bags, t-shirts, window decals, and key rings. In addition, the Information Booth is where you swipe your EBT, Visa or MasterCard credit or debit cards and receive you tokens for shopping at the Market!
We look forward to seeing you again this week! |
