A new farmers market will begin operation at the B&O Station, located at 530 Mahoning Ave., to serve patients in the Mercy Health Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program and the general public.
The first market will take place on Wednesday, June 13 from 10am-3pm and there will be a market on the second Wednesday of each month through October. The market will feature a variety of fresh produce grown by local farmers, as well as provide nutrition information and cooking demonstrations. Individuals with SNAP/EBT can double their purchase of fresh fruits and vegetables through the Produce Perks program, doubling up to $30 per market.
