This is a contribution market where you are encouraged to contribute $2. On the morning of the market you are attending, you can come between 10am and 12noon to get a ticket with the time for you to attend (this is to minimise the number of people in the market space at the one time). You can also purchase tickets during the market time of 1:30pm to 2:20pm. You are required to show some ID with your current address, as there is only one market attendance per household per week, so that we can assist as many households as possible with nutritional foods.
