SNAP/EBT + Fresh Access Bucks = More Good Food For ALL

/

We’re excited to announce that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits are now accepted by many of our vendors, with double-dollar benefits available through the Fresh Access Bucks program. Fresh Access Bucks makes fresh, local produce more affordable and accessible to low income families while supporting Florida’s farmers and enhancing our local economies. It does so by increasing the purchasing power of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants by providing a one-to-one match for Florida grown fruits and vegetables. A SNAP cardholder who spends $10 of their SNAP benefits at a participating market receives an additional $10 to purchase fresh, local produce.

Fresh Access Bucks will double spending power on Florida-grown fruits, vegetables, and edible starter plants. We are excited to expand access and opportunities for members of the community and farmers alike!  It means more people eating locally and supporting the local economy.  Stop by our headquarters booth at the market for more information.

Fleet Farming Featured on NPR

/

The Audubon Park Community Market is very much a neighborhood event, and we’re really proud to be a part of a vibrant community food hub.  This neighborhood is a hot spot for locally-grown food, inventive culinary destinations, exciting new foodpreneurs and more.  Fleet Farming is definitely one of the highlights, and their concept is gaining national attention and accolades.  We love that we get hyper-local veggies whenever they’re in season, and it’s especially great to know that they were grown in partnership with our wonderful neighbors.
Here’s a link to the article and newscast, which were featured on All Things Considered.

And here’s a neat video profile that features some scenes of our lovely little market!

Fleet Farming is fairly regular vendor at the market, offering up their freshest goods whenever they’re in season.
