Some vendors accept credit cards as well as cash. EBT purchases are matched up to $20, as long as funds are available, doubling eligible customers’ ability to purchase fresh, local produce and other food.

Individuals interested in being vendors at the market can call Dunsmuir Community Resource Center at 530-235-4400 for information and an application.

The Farmers Market is currently under the sponsorship of the Dunsmuir Community Resource Center.

Individuals interested in donating to the Market’s EBT Match fund can contact the Resource Center. The Match makes it possible for eligible low-income families, seniors, and other individuals to afford more fresh, local fruit and vegetables and other food.

Dogs are not permitted by state and local laws. Service dogs are allowed. They should be on leash.

The Dunsmuir Community Resource Center encourages everyone to come to the Dunsmuir Farmers Market and enjoy the delicious, locally produced fruit and vegetables and food, to support the Farmers Market, and to support local farmers and growers.
