*The Allen Street Farmers Market can be found during the outdoor season on the corner of E. Kalamazoo and Allen St in Lansing, just west of Allen Neighborhood Center (1619 E. Kalamazoo)*   This Week: 4th of July BBQ Supplies, Good Bites Food Truck, Red's Smokehouse, and So Much More! Wednesday, July 2 2:30 - 7:00 pm The Fourth falls on a Friday this year, so prepare for festivities that could last all weekend-long by stocking up on burgers, brats, steaks, chicken, a wide assortment of veggies for the grill, strawberries, and more. If you've already done your grocery-shopping, stop by for a meal from Good Bites food truck or Red's Smokehouse, a burrito from Oflia's, a Cornetti from Tannin, a tasty iced coffee from Strange Matter Coffee Company...or all of the above! Tom Heideman and Mary Koenigsknecht  will perform from 4-6, the Mid-Michigan Program for Greater Sustainability will be paying a visit to spread the word about their new online portal, and a local Girl Scout troop will be selling cookies inside the Allen Market Place.    * Want to show your ASFM love?

No worries! Visit our Market Bank where you can use your debit or credit card to get the amount you need to make your purchases in Market Money Tokens, worth $5 each. All of our vendors accept these and they are used just like cash. For example: if you buy a $4 item from a vendor with one Market Money Token, they will simply give you a $1 back in cash. Don't worry about having to run to the ATM before coming to the market! Similarly, EBT cards can be used to purchase EBT tokens, worth $1 each. With EBT tokens, however, you cannot buy something for  $1.50 with 2 EBT tokens and get .50 back in change - you would need to use .50 of your own change. Questions? Just stop by the bank table and our friendly banker, Aris, will be happy to help!   See you at the Market!
