New market membership changes

Hey farmers market friends! We are excited to announce some upcoming changes and events!

Starting November 1st, our membership fee will increase to $35/year. This membership fee goes towards administrative costs of the market. And this season we want to provide more services for our farmers market members! Also, we are doing away with the first 2 free trials model. Very few people have shared this as a pro or con for using the market so we want to you to go straight into using the market as a full time member right from the start. When do these changes take effect?
For these last two weeks in October, we will honor the current membership fee if you sign up and are in your trial period still. And after Nov 4, then the membership increase goes into effect.

So for past members, we will honor your $25 fee for this next year if you sign up again before or on Nov 4th.

And On November 4th, a farmers market Thursday, we’ll be doing a Membership Drive! Stay tuned for more as we will be posting the event details soon. It will be the same market format of order by Wednesday and pick up on Thursday, but will add in some special treats at the market pick up so plan to stop in for a few more minutes than usual.

Thank you so much for joining the local food movement and helping support local Virgin Islands producers. We want to enhance your farmers market experience and grow the # of producers on the market to provide you with more local produce. So even if your order is sometimes small, every sale encourages the producers to grow more.

We’ll see you tomorrow at pick up! Some extras we’ll have for sale at the table:
Fresh Eggs
Scallion bundles
Local juices
Local fruits
Microgreens
