WISCONSIN RAPIDS, WI (OnFocus) – The Wisconsin Rapids Downtown Farmers’ Market is excited to announce the return of the market for its 7th season with the Wood County Health Department providing support. The market will be open every Thursday and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, beginning June 12 through October 11, located on 1st Avenue from West Grand to Goggin Street.
Shoppers can expect a wide array of locally grown produce, handmade goods, food vendors, and crafters from passionate farmers and entrepreneurs throughout the community. This year, the market continues its commitment to accessibility by accepting FoodShare (SNAP), credit, and debit cards through a convenient Market Token program. Visitors simply swipe their card at the market booth and receive tokens valued at $1.00 increments to use with participating vendors. Credit and debit users will incur a small $1.00 transaction fee, which helps the market’s operations and programming.
In addition to SNAP, the market is proud to accept WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers as well as Aspirus Fruit & Vegetable Rx vouchers, making fresh, nutritious food more accessible to all members of the community.
“Every dollar spent at the market goes directly back to our hardworking farmers, food vendors, crafters, and local entrepreneurs,” said Mai Thao, Market Manager. “We are thrilled to be entering our 7th year and look forward to another season of good food, great people, and community connection.”
We are always looking for more vendors on Thursdays to fill up the market and volunteers to help at the market information booth.
