Market Shopping

PFM gift certificates can be purchased in person at the market’s information booth or online below.  Recipients can redeem their gift certificates for tokens at the information booth on market days. 

Please be kind to vendors by bringing smaller bills and change when you visit the market. You can pay the vendors directly with cash, in which case there is no need to stop at the Information Booth unless you have other questions!

PFM also offers credit/debit tokens. These tokens are green and have a $1 or $5 value. The tokens may be purchased at the Information Booth and can be used at all booths to purchase ANY items, including crafts. Tokens allow you to keep shopping even if you run out of cash or are purchasing from a vendor that does not accept credit cards.

Token Details:

• Tokens are available in $1 and $5 increments at the Information Booth.
• Spend tokens like cash at all vendor booths (yes, you get cash back if you need change from the vendor).
• There is a $1 convenience fee for debit card transactions.
• There is a 3% service charge for credit card transactions.
