SNAP AT THE MARKET
Our market is a great source of fresh fruits, vegetables, and other healthy foods. We are committed to expanding access to these foods by accepting SNAP for any purchase of our fresh produce, jams, jellies and other cottage foods, honey, dairy, eggs and baked goods.

DOUBLE UP FOOD BUCKS
Double Up Food Bucks helps shoppers participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) bring home twice the fresh fruits and veggies. For every $1 you spend on fruits and vegetables with SNAP benefits, you’ll get an additional $1 to spend on your next produce purchase, up to $20.
