Farmers' Market Program

Operating 30-plus farmer's markets in the Philadelphia region

RECENT NEWS

Introducing Philly Food Bucks

The Food Trust and the Philadelphia Department of Public Health have launched the Philly Food Bucks program. This new healthy food incentive program encourages SNAP/food stamp recipients to use their benefits to purchase fresh, local ingredients at participating farmers’ markets throughout the city.

Through the Philly Food Bucks program, funded by a grant from the federal Communities Putting Prevention to Work initiative, farmers’ market customers will receive $2 in Philly Food Bucks coupons for every $5 they spend in SNAP/food stamp benefits at participating farmers’ markets.

The Issue

Too many neighborhoods in the Philadelphia region lack access to nutritious, local foods – and the area’s farmers and artisan food producers are in search of an outlet for their foods.

 

The Food Trust Solution

Our network of farmers’ markets helps sustain regional farms and serves more than 125,000 customers in the Philadelphia region. Many of our farmers’ markets are located in neighborhoods underserved by supermarkets, grocery stores and other fresh food outlets, and most markets accept SNAP/food stamps (EBT/Access cards), Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program vouchers and Philly Food Bucks and provide helpful nutrition information to ensure that fresh, local foods are available to everyone.
