New Ways to Shop at the Farmer’s Market

CalFresh EBT Cards

Shoppers with CalFresh EBT cards can use their benefits to shop at Farmers Markets.

NCFMA is offering market match, which is provided by the Fini Grant.

We will match up to an additional $15.00 in Ebt tokens to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables at all 4 of our markets.

A great way to double your California Fresh funds and get fresh produce from our markets!

EBT Tokens are easy to use –

  • All market vendors accept Tokens

  • Use Tokens for all food items (except hot prepared foods)

  • Tokens are good any time (TODAY, TOMORROW, NEXT MONTH)


Tokens are good at ANY NCFMA Market

  • Templeton – Saturdays
