Dear Vendors,

Unfortunately, the weather report for this Saturday looks a little ominous. There's a 74% chance of "a couple of morning showers and a thunderstorm." Winds may reach 12 to 20 mph. Hopefully, this front will either hit us later in the day (after the Market has passed) or move in a different direction, but don't forget to text Jim at 863-944-7907 if you are not going to be present. Be sure to monitor the weather report closer to the Market day (things can change quickly).

Don't forget--If you are a full time vendor and you would like to no longer receive invoices that require you to re-enter your credit card information and manually pay your invoice, then don't forget to fill out a credit card authorization form and return it to the Market Manager, Jim Luna, OR bring it to the Market information tent and turn in to EBT staff, OR fill it out, take a picture of the form with your phone, and text it to 863.687.8910. You can learn more about it here: http://downtownfarmerscurbmarket.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/2DFCM-CC-authorization-Letter-2.pdf

Your SNAP Dollars, Doubled!

Did you know that if you have a SNAP Access EBT card you can use it at the Market Information/FAB tent every Saturday? Take as much money off your card as you want, receive red tokens in exchange, and spend the tokens like cash with participating vendors. Also, we will double your SNAP dollars with up to $40 worth of FAB tokens. That means that you if you spend up to $40, you will get $80 back! The green FAB tokens can be spent on Florida-grown fruits, veggies, and edible plants. So what's stopping you? Double your SNAP dollars every Saturday!

The Market Footprint

Ever wondered where, exactly, the Market ends and begins?

The Market stretches directly north from the train tracks, up North Kentucky Avenue, across Pine Street and Bay Street, all the way to Oak Street. That's over four blocks of Market fun!

Ever wondered where to park?

There is parking conveniently located at both ends of the market--on Oak Street and across the train tracks by Munn Park. There is also limited on-street parking on Tennesee Ave. and Pine St.
