HOLYOKE Those looking for healthy, local food this winter in downtown Holyoke will soon have a farmers’ market where they can shop twice a month over the winter.
The Holyoke Winter Farmers’ Market is set to open on Dec. 19 at the Holyoke War Memorial at 310 Appleton St., where it will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. every first and third Saturday of the month. As the region continues to see rising food insecurity amid the pandemic, vendors will accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, known as SNAP or EBT, as well as SNAP’s Healthy Incentives Program, or HIP.
