Pooch Policy


We are excited to welcome you and your dogs to the Summer Market, but ask that you follow a few simple rules.  This will help us to continue to keep our customers safe:

  • Dogs must be kept on a short leash (no expandable or retractable leashes, please).

  • Dogs need to be under control and by your side at all times. Barking, growling, jumping on others is not acceptable. Please understand that other customers may have a fear of dogs and such behavior may cause someone distress.

  • Keep dogs away from market produce and other food products (this means both head and tail ends) both on and under market tables.

  • Dogs must be children & other dog friendly to earn the right to shop at the market

  • Not Everyone is a Dog Lover - Please Be Considerate:  If your dog becomes loud or unruly please remove them immediately from the market. If you do not and your dog continues you may be asked to leave the market by the vendors or market staff.

  • Dog waste must be cleaned up IMMEDIATELY and is the responsibility of the owner.

 

Please see the Market Manager booth for additional information and/or assistance.  Your participation in the Market is important to us, as is the safety and enjoyment of all customers.


Recipe of the Week
"Garden"

This Recipe provided my Julie Mallow of The Vegetable Garden
Julie shared with me that her mother created dishes frequently from whatever vegetables were ripe during her evening strolls in the garden. This is an example of one of those meals. All vegetables can be swapped out for others if you would like to make this dish to your own tastes.

3 Ears Sweet Corn 1 Medium Sweet Onion (Candy)
3 or 4 Cloves of Garlic, smashed & chopped 1/2 lb Green Beans
1/2lbs Sugar Snap Peas 3 Strips of Bacon (reserve the grease) 
2 or 3 Sweet or Hot Banana Peppers 1/4 Cup Water








Cook Bacon until crisp. Remove Bacon from pan leaving grease. To pan, add Garlic and Onions, cook until soft. Toss in all Veggies and Add water. Cover and steam for 12 minutes. Check after 12 Minutes and remove lid to allow remaining water to absorb. Crumble bacon over top. Serve and enjoy!

MONONGALIA COUNTY WIC PROGRAM TO OFFER FARMERS' MARKET VOUCHERS

Morgantown, WV - July 30, 2015


 

The Monongalia County Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) will be distributing Farmers' Market vouchers to WIC participants beginning Saturday, August 1, 2015 from 9 a.m. to noon during the Morgantown Farmers' Market.  Farmers' Market vouchers will be distributed on subsequent Saturdays at the downtown market for as long as vouchers are available. The quantity of vouchers is limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.  The market is held at the Morgantown Market Place Pavilion on the corner of Spruce and Fayette Streets.  Current Monongalia County WIC participants are eligible to participate in the WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program.  WIC participants need to show their eWIC card holder for ID.


 

The goals of the West Virginia Farmers' Market Nutrition Program are to supplement WIC participants' diets with fresh, locally-grown produce and to increase the use and awareness of the Farmers' Markets.  Farmers' Market vouchers do not affect participants' current WIC benefits.  The vouchers are to be used to purchase fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and fresh herbs at the Farmers'Market.


 

WIC is a federally funded Supplemental Food and Nutrition Program for pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum women, infants and children up to age five years.  WIC provides nutrition and breastfeeding education and counseling along with an eWIC card. The eWIC card is used at local grocery stores for the purchase of supplemental foods which may include milk, cheese, eggs, juice, cereal, whole grain bread, buns and tortillas, beans, peanut butter, infant formula and fresh fruits and vegetables.


 

Media inquiries or interviews about this event should be directed to Ted Krafczyk, MCHD Public Information Officer, at ted.l.krafczyk@wv.gov or call 304-319-3775.


 

For more information about the Farmers' Market Nutrition Program, the WIC Program or to see if you qualify, call the Monongalia County Health Department WIC Office at 304-598-5181 or visit our website at www.mylocalwic.org.  Follow us on Facebook:  www.facebook.com/WICMCHD and Twitter:  www.twitter.com/WICMCHD .
