*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: The Bounty of Summer and a Performance by Taylor Taylor! Wednesday, July 30 2:30 - 7:00 pm Now is the time, my friends. If you can think of a vegetable (that can realistically be grown in this climate), you can probably find it at the market this week.  We're not looking too shabby in the fruit department either: apples, cherries, blueberries, currants, gooseberries, and raspberries will all be available for you to purchase and take home (or to devour while you shop).  And that's just the produce side of things - there's also breads, cheeses, honey, baked goods, Red's Smokehouse, and so much more awaiting you. Taylor Taylor will perform from 4-6!    * Want to show your ASFM love? Become a member of our Yard Sign Corps! Help us advertise by putting out an ASFM yard sign every Wednesday morning to help passersby remember that Wednesday is market day on the Eastside! Visit the outreach table in the middle of the market to get your sign and get started.     The Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) program has started! All SNAP-recipients are eligible to participate. For any amount up to $20 in EBT (in multiples of 2), the bank will match that amount in DUFB. Learn more about this too-good-to-be-true program here.   Here are just a few offerings from each of our farmers and vendors:  American Delicacy Fresh mushrooms: Portabella caps, siitake, cremini, 5 varieties of gourmet mushroom butter CBI's Giving Tree Farm Rainbow carrots, tomatillos, hot peppers, tomatoes, fresh herbs, pickling cucumbers, squash Green Eagle Farm Shallots, garlic, hot peppers, flowers, Swiss chard, potatoes, radicchio, kohlrabi, broccoli Hillcrest Farms Salsa kits, cherries, blueberries, potatoes, spring mix, tomatoes, beans, peppers, cucumbers, eggs Khoua's Veggies Bok Choi, lettuce, amaranth, cilantro, basil, radishes, sugar snap peas, beans Mac's Market Celery, string beans, pickling cucumbers, hot peppers, peas, tart cherries, blueberries, raspberries, eggs Nightengale Family Farms Sweet corn, cherries, transparent apples, gooseberries, raspberries, beans, tomatoes, lettuce, onions Urbandale Tomatoes, green peppers, cabbage, zucchini, salad mix, onions, cilantro, kale, Swiss chard, beets Vang's Wax & green beans, carrots, Malabar spinach, rhubarb, dill, raspberries, onions, carrots Wildflower Eco Farm Potatoes, kale, cabbage, garlic, kohlrabi, eggplant, mustard greens Wooden Shoe Herb Farm Herb starter plants, fresh herbs, dried herbs, herb cookies, candles, soaps   Applegarth Honey Local honey from a colorful character.

Offerings include pulled pork nachos, smoked portabella & spinach dip sandwiches, BLT's, bacon brownies, bbq baked beans, and more!      Taylor Taylor will perform 4-6!     A word on market currency: Got to the market only to realize you're out of cash? 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!
