Starting Dec. 6, the Rose District Farmers Market will be open from 4 to 8 p.m. every Tuesday through the month of February.
Shoppers can expect fresh, local meats, and produce options at the market.
This Rose District Tuesday Market pilot program is launching after multiple requests from customers and vendors.
The program will address evening and weeknight shopping needs of area residents.
In April, the Rose District Farmers Market will reopen on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Tuesdays from 4 to 8 p.m.
In 2003, the Rose District Farmers Market began with 10 vendors but now has approximately 50 regular vendors from April through October.
The Tuesday market will have 28 vendors, primarily selling locally grown meats and produce.
“Our market has grown substantially over the past three years, and we are adapting to the response,” said Farmers Market Facilitator Nicole Orcutt. “Our customers asked for a winter market, they asked for an evening market option, and they asked for a weeknight market. This new Tuesday evening option addresses all those needs.”
SNAP benefits will be accepted as payment at the upcoming market.
“It is important for us to provide healthy options for our customers and to meet the need for fresh, locally grown foods,” Orcutt said.
The Rose District Farmers Market can be located at 418 South Main Street in the downtown Broken Arrow area.
