Spring is in full swing and our farmers' stalls are finally bursting with crunchy radishes, fresh greens, baby kale and a variety of other spring favorites. Stop by the market on Saturday mornings at Newport Gateway Center one more time to stock up on veggies, fish, meat, eggs, coffee and more from 9:00 AM to noon. The last market at Newport Gateway Center is April 24th.

Save the date for May 1st, when the Saturday Summer Market opens at Pell Elementary School, 35 Dexter Street in Newport from 9:00 AM to noon. (The Summer Market will be open one extra hour - 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM - starting on May 15.)

Then on May 19th, the Wednesday Summer Market kicks off, running weekly from 2:00 to 6:00 PM on Memorial Boulevard. The opening of the Wednesday Summer Market is a sure sign of warmer days ahead!

As always, shoppers using Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits can spend EBT dollars at various market stalls and receive Bonus Bucks, a 100% match for fruit and vegetables purchases, thereby doubling the shopping value of their allowance.
