The Cumberland County Farmer’s Market started the 2023 season off to a racing start. The market became their own 501C3 during the off season. They are now operating on their own with no guidance from the Extension Office, except for training such as PBPT or Micro-processing. The vendor numbers have tripled since last season from three to nine. The market is offering everything from crafts, to vegetables, to live animals.  The vendors still accept Senior and WIC vouchers for county residents. Senior vouchers were just handed out on June 1^st to qualified recipients. The county had a 100% redemption rate last year with a total of $4,896.00 going back to producers. The county hopes to keep the redemption rate the same for the 2023 season.
