You SNAP. We MATCH: A win for families, farmers & communities.
Virginia Fresh Match nutrition incentives double the value of SNAP (food stamps) spent at participating farmers markets and food stores. Virginia Fresh Match helps people bring home more healthy, affordable fruits and vegetables and supports local farmers.
Get more fruits and vegetables when you spend your SNAP dollars at participating farmers markets and food stores.
For example, spend $10 with your EBT card and get another $10 FREE to buy fresh fruits and vegetables locally grown in Virginia.
All across Virginia, in big cities and small towns, farmers markets participate in Virginia Fresh Match. View our interactive map to find a Virginia Fresh Match farmers market or food store near you.
As a SNAP recipient, I truly value the incentive program as it allows me to buy fresh, healthy foods with my SNAP card, and get extra funds for fruits and vegetables. I care for my elderly father and this program helps my family have access to healthy foods despite our financial limitations.
Alin, Spotsyvania Farmers Market SNAP shopperLearning what to eat in my nutrition class then being able to shop at the Lynchburg Community Market with my [SNAP Benefits] has changed my life. I am in recovery… now I know better and do better.
Carrie Ann, Lynchburg Community Market SNAP shopperWhen the Farmer’s Market did not accept SNAP I was unable to shop there for my family. Now, not only do I shop there but I do so year-round. The doubling benefit helps with affordability… My children eat more fruits and vegetables because of this… they enjoy shopping for produce.
