Jasmine's Nadas is making good on back rent payments to Trenton Farmers Market

After discussions, Jasmine and the Board of Directors at the Trenton Farmers Market agreed on a monthly amount to begin to pay off the debt. Jasmine says she's been diligent in staying on track with the payments. The monthly payment has since increased to an amount she didn't agree to and can't afford.

"I just truly can't continue to put my family in any more financial distress. This has been very hard on us. I love what I'm doing. I love making empanadas for everyone. I love everyone that comes in to see me," Jasmine told 94.5 WPST.

However, she's not done yet. There's still time to visit Jasmine at the Trenton Farmers Market.
