This includes all supplies farmers purchase locally for their businesses like soil, produce bags, and nursery pots

This includes errands that are run at other stores before or after attending a farmers' market, impulse buys when window shopping, and the meals customers and market staff eat while in town

SNAP is called the CalFresh EBT program in California
Benefits refer to the monthly allotments that individuals and families receive to supplement their food purchases.  This is money that is taken from the federal government and injected directly into our local economy through farmers' markets and other food access points.

Incentive programs offer additional funding to purchase food to customers who qualify
NCGA offers a Market Match incentive at our farmers' markets to SNAP customers, and farmers accept WIC checks (Women, Infant, Children), SFMNP checks (Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program), veggie prescription bucks from Open Door Community Health Center (yes, they can prescribe healthy food for chronic illnesses!), and Market Match vouchers distributed by community partners like Food for People

So, what does this mean for Humboldt?
