SNAP MATCHING PROGRAM

We are dedicated to making sure all people have access to fresh, healthy, local food. Which is why we not only accept SNAP/EBT, but match it up to $30!

EAT-A-RAINBOW PROGRAM

Our Eat-A-Rainbow program is designed to get kids excited about eating healthy, whole foods! Simply come to our info booth when you get to the market and we’ll get you all taken care of. Your child will get an Eat-A-Rainbow Passport and a $5 E-A-R Coupon to spend at the market with select vendors to buy healthy foods for them to try. Once you are all done shopping, come back to the info booth and we will mark off the colors of the rainbow they bought (we’ll count parent purchases too). The only deal is they gotta agree try what they buy in order to get it marked off.

Once all the colors are marked off, they get a grand prize! You can do this in one day or over weeks, but they can get a new $5 coupon each day you come to the market.

PRODUCE TO PANTRY PROGRAM

We have teamed up with Wake County Cooperative Extension and Dorcas Food Pantry to help those who are facing food insecurity. Each week during our Traditional Season (April-October),  we purchase leftover veggies, fruit, and meat from our vendors at the end of the day that we then donate to Dorcas Food Pantry. This program pays farmers, prevents food waste, and allows those in need to have access to locally grown, nutrient dense, delicious food. It’s a triple win!
