BisMarket

BisMarket, founded in 2012, is a nonprofit farmers market along Sweet Avenue at Kiwanis Park and the Municipal Ballpark, at 250 W Sweet Avenue in Bismarck. A volunteer board runs it as a place to support local farmers and artisans, promote health, and show regional art. Stalls carry farm-fresh goods, including locally harvested potatoes, plus handcrafted products, children's activities, live entertainment, and educational sessions. SNAP is accepted, and the Beet Buck program matches benefits for fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and food-producing plants and seeds. Donations collected each Saturday go to food pantries in the Bismarck-Mandan community. The market is tobacco-free and family-friendly, weather pending.

Our take: If you use SNAP, ask about Beet Bucks at the market so the match can go toward fruit, vegetables, herbs, and seeds.
