ABFM MARKET-GOERS:
Bring 'em back!
ABFM is instituting a take-back program for containers used by vendors. Just bring to the ABFM table at market any (clean) containers you've acquired during your ABFM shopping. We'll make them available to our vendors for re-use when appropriate.
MARKET HOURS: 10am–2pm
