Farmers Markets
The Groundwork Farmers Markets / Mercado de Agricultores are held from June through October. The markets feature a wide variety of local produce.
The markets provide a lively gathering place for the whole community with free attractions such as live entertainment, family activities, and cultural and educational exhibits.
Why Farmers Markets?
Because there’s nothing like eating fresh fruits and vegetables grown locally that are best for you, your health, and your family’s health, you’re supporting local businesses, it keeps money in our community, and is the best for the environment. Come and support your local farmers, get fresh products, and connect with your neighbors.
How?
All the farmers accept SNAPEBT/food stamps, debit, credit, and cash; GWL (Groundwork Lawrence) market coupons, WIC (Women, Infants, and Children), and senior farmers market coupons are also welcome. Due to the (Health Incentives Program (HIP), SNAP households can earn a dollar-for-dollar match up to $40, $60, or $80, depending on your household size and income, on eligible purchases of fresh fruit and vegetables at farmers markets, farm stands, CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), and mobile markets. The HIP benefit is immediately added to SNAP households’ EBT cards after each purchase. Please enjoy the view, flavors, and offerings of the markets with us!
