Community Supported Markets Program
Successful markets and a thriving local food system depend on the commitment of the community, and this program provides a great way to show your support. BAMM's CSM Bucks come in $5 denominations, are sold in $50 packs, are accepted by all vendors, at all our locations, for all product types, and are treated the same as cash. Use these vouchers when you make your purchases, and vendors will receive a full payout at the end of the market - it's that easy!
The BAMM Community Supported Markets (CSM) program offers the following benefits:
Transaction fees are included in your price, so the full value goes to the vendors who need it the most.
Prepaying for CSM Bucks essentially lets you spread the cost of your market purchases out over a longer period of time.
Divide your CSM Bucks purchase out over as many as four payments before the market season begins.
Keep it local! CSM Bucks are a truly local currency, and there's no better way to support our local economy than that!
Other Options:
If you're an employer interested in distributing vouchers to your employees, our B-Well Employee Wellness Program may be a better fit.
Gift cards can be purchased from the market manager at the Welcome Table at any of our market locations.
How it works
The way the program works is simple:
Sign up to become a BAMM CSM member - we'll just need your name and contact information.
Choose the number of $50 CSM Bucks packs (10 x $5 vouchers) you'd like to order. Each $50 pack includes a $3.50 surcharge to cover voucher printing and transaction fees.
Choose to pay in full or in installments.
You'll receive one or more invoices from BAMM by email, payable by credit card or bank transfer, around the first of each month from February to May.
Payment due dates are February 15th, March 15th, April 15th and May 15th.
You can sign up at any time before May 1st, and your installment amounts will be based on the number of payment dates left at that time.
Your CSM Bucks will be available for pickup on the first two dates of each market, or another pickup date can be arranged.
CSM Bucks are valid during the calendar year in which they're purchased.
Approximate billing dates: Feb 1, Mar 1, Apr 1, May 1
