Downtown Santa Cruz Farmers\u2019 Market now accepting debit\/credit cards<\/p><\/div>\n

Starting today, Wednesday, Jan. 7, customers can use credit and debit cards to purchase items at the downtown Santa Cruz Farmers\u2019 Market, which is open every Wednesday from 1:30-5:30 p.m. (winter hours). It’s located at the corner of Lincoln St. & Cedar St.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it will work: customers wishing to use this new program need to go to the information table at the downtown location of the Santa Cruz Community Farmers\u2019 Markets<\/a>. Staff will swipe credit\/debit cards and provide customers with plastic $1 and $5 tokens valid to buy any product at the market. These tokens never expire.<\/p>\n

The reason for this change is because more and more customers have been requesting credit\/debit card access over the years. Please remember that farmers\/vendors do prefer cash if you have it.<\/p>\n

If all goes smooth with this trial program, the Santa Cruz Community Farmers\u2019 Markets will expand the credit\/debit card service by the end of January to their other markets: Live Oak, Westside, Scotts Valley, and Felton. \u201cWe want to make it easy for you to spend as much money as possible with regional farms,\u201d the organization says. Here\u2019s hoping it\u2019s successful!<\/p>\n
