Before you go
A few practical notes: bring your own bags and some small bills, arrive early for the best pick, and ask growers what is in season that week. Payment options such as SNAP/EBT vary by market and vendor, so check with the market directly. Organizers can send a current schedule to hello@allofhere.com for review.
