Seasonal Farmers Market in Otero County running from June to October. We are located in Washington Park near the southeast corner by 1st and Canyon.
We are currently the only farmers market in the county to accept SNAP, Double Up Food Bucks, WIC & Senior Nutrition Farmers Market Benefits and the FreshRX programs.
We have a community table open for participation for backyard growers that aren't able or ready to set up for a full market day.
While the market participates in the programs vendor participation is voluntary.

The corruption which causes reputational damage is too widespread already and is going to overflow into the public eye soon enough. There is nothing anyone, or any group can do to stop it all from coming out. It is not limited to Chamber of Commerce or MainGate, IMO. Its tentacles are choking this city.
this is not an unusual situation involving chambers of commerce - merging government with business interests is nearly as problematic as merging government with churches. either situation places minority stakeholders in positions to manipulate the public's interests.
