I am a vendor who does NOT accept credit cards at the Haymaker Market. I will still accept the SNAP and EBT wooden tokens. Sorry for any inconvenience this may be for my customers. I would appreciate it if you would remember to bring cash to the market. Credit card fees hurt the bottom line. With the increasing cost of ingredients recently, I am not in the position to add another expense. I am trying to not have to raise my prices but if costs continue to rise I may have to make some difficult decisions in order to keep popping.
Thank you for your understanding. Hope to see you all at the market!
Starting in April the market will no longer swipe credit cards for $5 tokens. The fees and market manager hours incurred by this service are just too much for us. We have so many ideas around agricultural education, market programming, food acces, and more, all of which are a much better use of our budget.
The majority of our vendors accept credit cards, but some do not. Please check in with your favorite vendors and plan to bring cash to the market. All credit card use incurs fees, whether they're paid by the market or your favorite vendor, so having cash at the market is appreciated by everyone. This change does NOT affect SNAP and EBT, only credit cards. If you already have tokens, you can continue to spend them.
We move outdoors and back to our home on Franklin Ave. April 2. Until then, we'll see you Saturdays in March 10am-1pm at the UMC. Thank you for supporting local!
