Activities

The Quincy Medical Group Healthcare Foundation is in its third year of partnership with the market in providing children’s activities every Saturday for free from 9:30- 12 p.m.  Last year we averaged 40 to 80 children taking part in our activities each weekend.  This year we plan on adding even more! At the market you will find educational herb, fruit and vegetable cards and recipes for families in addition to the free activities. We hope to educate and entertain the public as they buy fresh products that are healthy for their families.

Vouchers

Did you know the market also accepts EBT, (SNAP) and WIC Vouchers and you can become an approved vendor with the State? As a vendor, if you do not accept debit or credit at your booth, market staff can process credit and debit payments at the Market Information Booth, providing vouchers for the public to use to shop with you. The market staff then reimburses you for the vouchers.  We are also proud to announce we received a grant to DOUBLE the amount of money individuals who have SNAP and Link cards can use at our market up to $25. So if they spend $25 in Link we’ll DOUBLE to make it $50!! Make sure you sign up with the State to be an approved vendor to accept these funds.

Application

We welcome homegrown & handcrafted vendors to the Quincy Farmers Market, as well as prepared food vendors.
