It’s that time of year again to be able to enjoy fresh local vegetables and fruits. The 2024 Farmers market is approaching fast!
The Ellensburg Farmers market season is May-October. I will start pre-sign ups in May. If you saved your card from last year, you will still need to fill out an application. Once you have filled out your application your old card will be reloaded. If you didn’t save your card from last year, we will issue you a new one. Benefit cards are good from June 1st-October 31st. The benefit amount you will receive is $80.00. You will still be able to sign up at the Farmers Market, however it will take up to a week for your electronic card to be activated. This means that you won’t be able to use your card the same day you receive it. I would like to start signing you up and distributing cards in May, so your benefits get activated sooner. If you would like to have your cards available in June, please come to one of the locations and the time listed below:
