Mount Vernon Farmer’s Market is accepting food stamps!

This morning we talked with Sabrina Schirtzinger and Tammy Ruhl about the Mount Vernon Farmer’s Market. Sabrina and Tammy are in charge of organizing the local foods and connecting people through the farmer’s market and other resources. They gave us all the details for 2017 market.

In our conversation, we highlighted a new program at the market for Knox County community members.
