WFM Market News - July 11, 2024
We are into July already, and produce at the Market is abundant! Greens, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, microgreens, snap peas and onions are flourishing, so pick some up for creative salads on warm nights. Fresh-baked breads and pastries are available weekly, and freshly-pressed organic raw juices are a great refresher on hot days!
SNAP and HIP are refreshed for the month, so take advantage of our $10 SNAP match to increase your budget for the week. POP Club members, stop by the POP Club Tent and pick up your POP Bucks for fresh produce this week!
We would like to extend a special thank-you to Sweet JJ’s for the gift of a new water mister to keep our customers cool on these hot summer days. We appreciate you!
See you Thursday! The WFM Management Team
