WESTON FARMER'S MARKET NOW ACCEPTING DEBIT CARDS

The Village of Weston Farmer's Market will have the ability to accept Debit Cards through a token program beginning Saturday, July 20, 2013. Tokens will be in $5 increments and there will be a $1 service charge added to each separate transaction. These tokens can then be used at all of the individual vendors at the Market.

 

The Weston Farmers Market also continues to accept FoodShare (EBT) cards as a form of payment which was implemented last summer with the assistance of the Marathon County Health Department and the Healthy Eating Active Living Coalition of Marathon County.  Please look for the sandwich board sign on Market days to purchase your tokens through the Debit and EBT programs.


"The service of allowing electronic forms of payment not only helps Marathon County residents access more local, fresh foods, but it also supports the vendors of the market," says Amanda Ostrowski, Public Health Educator with Marathon County Health Department. 

 

The Weston Farmers Market is located next to the Weston Municipal Center at 5500 Schofield Avenue and is open on Tuesday's and Saturday's from 8 a.m. until produce is sold out through the end of October.
