Cherrydale Farmers Market now accepts Yiftee!
In 2012, Yiftee was founded with the mission of creating more ways for local dollars to stay local. They do this through their Community Cards: a single card redeemable at a curated network of local merchants, so funds stay in our community at the businesses you choose.
All Cherrydale Farmers Market vendors accept Yiftee, so if you have a card you are hoping to use, or an occasion where you are deciding on the perfect gift to give, Yiftee is a great way to support our local vendors!
Join us at Cherrydale Farmers Market each weekend for kid friendly bubbles, yard games, and more!
