(La Porte, IN) - The Farmed and Forged Market will be happening in downtown La Porte again Sunday, rain or shine.

 

Organizers have announced an option to make the market even more inclusive to the general public.

 

Starting tomorrow, SNAP benefits will be honored.  This will allow those utilizing the national food-assistance program to purchase healthy, locally-produced foods.

 

Select vendors will accept SNAP benefits to purchase items such as fruit and vegetables; breads and cereals; meats, fish and poultry; as well as eggs and dairy. Just stop by the Farmed & Forged booth to swipe your debit card and receive vouchers.

 

The market takes place every Sunday between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on Monroe St. between Lincolnway and State St.

 

This Sunday, in addition to about 20 local vendors, a few area nonprofits will be setting up. PFLAG will be sharing information about their upcoming PRIDE event, while the Michigan City Black Business Association will have information about their Juneteenth event happening next weekend. The Michiana Humane Society is the designated nonprofit beneficiary this month. Due to the likelihood of rain, a cooking demonstration has been postponed until next Sunday.
