It’s farmers market season and the Market Money program is back again this year to help CalFresh participants bring home the bounty.
Growers are bringing out crates full of beautiful fruits and vegetables, fresh for the picking. Starting June 2nd, CalFresh participants who spend 10 EBT dollars on market tokens will get 10 tokens free. That’s up to $10 of free veggies at every market, over and over, all season long.
To get started, bring your EBT card and photo ID over to the 211 booth at any of the markets below. We’ll match your EBT tokens up to $10. Then use your market tokens to buy fruits and veggies at participating farm stands.
