First time going to a farmers’ market? Here are some helpful hints!

What to know about payment:

  • Vendors are often extremely flexible! Cash, credit, apple pay, and Venmo are all generally accepted (though cash might be a fan favorite). Currently, the Easton Farmers’ Market and the West Ward Markets are the only markets in the Lehigh Valley that offer market-wide SNAP access, but there are vendors at other markets who will individually accept it.
  • For qualifying WIC recipients and seniors, there are Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) vouchers seasonally available for fresh produce. Not sure if you’re qualified for FMNP, or where to get your vouchers? Find out more here!
  • You can find more information about both SNAP and FMNP vouchers under the Resources tab on our website’s menu in the section titled “Food Access”.
  • Or, through this handy dandy link!

Shopping strategies:

  • Consider walking or biking to the FM instead of relying on fuel powered vehicles! Spending a little bit of time moving around outdoors each week comes with all kinds of health benefits. Sunshine means vitamin D, which is super important for bone and blood health! Walking is excellent for joint pain and can lower risk of breast cancer. (Harvard Health Publishing) Lastly, it’s much easier to see your loved ones’ faces outside of a car. If the goal is not to have to look at your loved ones’ faces, Pennsylvania has very beautiful scenery to focus on instead!
  • A huge pull of the farmers’ market system is the preservation of historic farmland and to protect the agricultural heritage of the local area. To reduce waste and reduce our environmental impact, most vendors do not offer bags at the purchase. Some markets sell tote bags on-site, but it’s always good to make sure you have a few reuseable bags of varying sizes in your back pocket whenever you’re getting ready to go!
  • Plan to visit on the earlier side of a market day to see the widest variety of options and to give yourself the optimal amount of time to explore or hang out. The early bird gets the freshest produce.
  • If it’s your first time at a market, take a lap before you shop. Take a few minutes to stroll around and get a feel for the vibe of the place. Who knows? You might see an old friend or even make a new one!
  • If you have room in your budget for breakfast, a pastry stand is always a great place to begin! Perhaps if you start by satisfying your sweet tooth, you just might be able to escape the pull of baked goods long enough to purchase the actual items on your shopping list.
  • For the best odds of fulfilling your weekly shopping list with a single trip to the market, connect with your inner nature lover and consider planning your future dishes around the produce that is the most prominent this time of year. For instance, spring is the best time to buy things like strawberries, arugula, spinach, and artichokes, among others! You can also always ask vendors and farmers about their favorite ways to use their products to gain special bonus knowledge.

Staying up to date:

  • Every farmers’ market on the list above has some sort of online page, listed in their information sections. Cancellations, events, and other updates are posted across Facebook or on Instagram sometimes days or weeks before the actual date, so think about taking a peek online before you head off on your adventure.
  • Vendors and farmers’ market goers alike are often called by the feeling of community brought by local markets, and so friendliness and community is a big part of the culture. Don’t be afraid to strike up conversation without whoever is around, whether they’re behind a stand or milling around. Questions are always welcome, and kindness is always met with kindness.
