The Arbutus Farmers’ Market accepts Independence cards! Come to the information booth on any market day to swipe your Independence card to receive tokens to spend with eligible vendors. Tokens can be used on any food not to be consumed on site, as well as any food producing plants.

Only have a debit card? Come to the information booth on any market day to swipe your debit card for Market tokens in $5 denominations, for a small convenience fee of $2.00. Market tokens are our own currency and can be spent with any vendor just like cash. Vendors will give change back in cash, or you can save them for a future market. They can also be used like gift certificates.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become a popular way for consumers to support a farm while enjoying the bounty of the harvest. Basically, a customer buys a “share” of the harvest for a season, paying the farmer up front for a basket of produce delivered each week. While a CSA share is not for everyone, it can be a great way for customers to develop a relationship with a farm and learn more about what diverse products are available. The Arbutus Farmers Market has several farms delivering CSA. Check out their websites to learn what each farm is doing and determine which one might work for you.
