Bethel Park Farmers’ Market Returns for its 19th Season!
Farmers’ Market bags have arrived! If you have not visited the market yet this season, be sure to stop by our Bethel Park Recreation tent to receive your free 2024 Farmers’ Market Reusable Bag! Perfect for all your market produce and goodies! These bags could not be possible without the generous support of our donor- the Bethel Park Community Foundation. The Bethel Park Community Foundation (the “BPCF”) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) which embraces a philosophy of local philanthropy. Tax-deductible contributions made to the BPCF are applied to fund local life-quality initiatives as determined through our grant application process. The scope of BPCF embraces donors from all economic levels, from both within and beyond the boundaries of the Bethel Park community. Established in accordance with these parameters and staffed exclusively by volunteers, the BPCF elected to concentrate its activities in the following five principal areas of enrichment: Community facilities Opportunities in education for citizens of all ages Expanded recreational and leisure time activities Increase exposure to the fine and performing arts Community Health and Safety What began as an idealistic hope in 1994, has evolved into an active Foundation that continues to touch the lives of nearly every Bethel Park resident. The Bethel Park Farmers’ Market is truly grateful for Bethel Park Community Foundation’s philanthropy and commitment to Bethel Park residents!

The Farmers’ Market is now accepting SNAP/EBT!
The Bethel Park Farmers’ Market is now part of the “Food Assistance Match” (FAM) program, a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing access to fresh, nutritious food from local farmers and small businesses to individuals and families most in need. The FAM program will start at the June 20 Bethel Park Farmers’ Market . FAM multiplies the buying power of food assistance programs such as SNAP, WIC, the Farmers Market Nutrition Program and others enabling patrons using these programs to take home up to three times more locally-sourced food and goods. “We’re extremely happy to be part of the Food Assistance Match program,” said Bethel Park Farmers’ Market Coordinator Lindsey Sibert. “This is such a positive step in providing the wonderful, fresh products we offer to everyone in our community!” The process to use FAM is straightforward. FAM patrons come to the Market and pick out their eligible items. “The only items at our Market that can’t be used with FAM are non-food purchases, alcohol and food truck selections,” said Sibert. After selecting items and identifying themselves as FAM patrons, shoppers will receive a receipt for their selections and take them to the Bethel Park Farmers’ Market tent where they’ll check out rather than at the vendor site. “We’re trying to make the whole process as simple as possible,” said Sibert. FAM also benefits the Market vendors too. “This will enable our vendors to meet new customers, increase their sales, have a positive impact on our local economy, and more!” said Sibert. The Bethel Park Farmers’ Market runs Tuesdays (rain or shine) from 3-7 p.m. in South Park directly off Corrigan Drive near the Ice-Skating Rink from May until the end of September.
