What is CalFresh?
CalFresh provides monthly benefits to help low-income community members buy groceries. Benefits are added to a debit-style plastic EBT card that eligible individuals and families use to pay for food at grocery stores, convenience stores and many local farmers markets. Bring your CalFresh card to the market manager's booth and get started!
How does Market Match work?
The Market Match program helps you budget more fruits and vegetables with your CalFresh benefits. Participating farmers markets will match your CalFresh benefits dollar-for-dollar up to a daily maximum. For example, a participating farmers market may give you $10 in Market Match vouchers for spending $10 on your EBT card, giving you a total of $20 to spend at the market. Specific match amounts vary by market. Match dollars can only be used on fresh fruits and vegetables or edible plant starts. Market Match is a program of the Ecology Center and is funded in part through the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
What is a Nutrition Incentive?
Nutrition Incentives at farmers markets come in the form of matching dollars, vouchers, coupons, or discounts. They provide extra funds for customers on a limited income to spend on locally produced fresh foods. Ask farmers market staff to find out what is available.
