Farmer’s Markets’ “Market Bucks”
We love our local farmer’s markets, and we are excited about their new program! The Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance (NFMA) has just launched a new “buy local” incentive program called “Market Bucks”.
“Market Bucks,” are usable currency for any product at any of the seven NFMA Markets. They are printed “bucks” for the value of $2.00 each, and are used just like regular dollars. If you want $4.00 dollars worth of heirloom tomatoes, you hand the farmer two “Market Bucks” and the tomatoes are yours!
Mangetout Catering has purchased some market bucks of our own, and we would like to share them with you. There are a couple different ways to earn market bucks from us in the upcoming summer months:
1) Place a catering order with us between July 15th and August 15th and earn “Market Bucks” as a thank you gift from us.
2) Win “Market Bucks” in our Twitter contest!
