The Hernando Farmers Market was established in 2008 by the city and a group of citizens who wanted a place for the community to convene and provide an outlet for our farmers to sell their products. The market accepts Senior and WIC vouchers, SNAP, and provides a double SNAP incentive through a grant to increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables. “Our local farmers are smaller and do not sell commercially. The market gives them an outlet to sell their product outside of their farm and allows them to increase the number of crops which benefits them, as well as the local consumer who is looking to buy fresh and local.”
