The Summit Farmers Market 2019 season is greener than ever! Plastic Checkout Bags Banned for 2019 Season
In order to move toward a more sustainable market, part of the Summit Farmers Market’s mission, beginning this season, no vendor will be permitted to use plastic checkout bags. Plastic produce bags and paper bags are still allowed, but customers are strongly encouraged to bring their own reusable shopping bags each week to the Market. SDI will be giving away FREE reusable shopping bags during the first weeks of the season, while the supplies last.
Championed by SDI Board Chair, Bob Conway, the goal is to make the Summit Farmers Market more environmentally responsible. “We can help our environment by reducing the amount of single-use plastics we provide here at the Market,” says Mr. Conway. “Every little bit helps.”
The Summit Farmers Market is open every Sunday, rain or shine, thru November 24 from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. in Park & Shop Lot #2.
