Activities

The Quincy Medical Group Healthcare Foundation is in its third year of partnership with the market in providing children’s activities every Saturday for free from 9:30- 12 p.m.  Last year we averaged 40 to 80 children taking part in our activities each weekend.  This year we plan on adding even more! At the market you will find educational herb, fruit and vegetable cards and recipes for families in addition to the free activities. We hope to educate and entertain the public as they buy fresh products that are healthy for their families.

Vouchers

As a vendor, if you do not accept debit or credit at your booth, market staff can process credit and debit payments at the Market Information Booth, providing vouchers for the public to use to shop with you. The market staff then reimburses you for the vouchers.
