Farmers Markets, and the fresh, locally grown food available there, can be inaccessible to lower-income individuals and families. FAM helps to not just bridge the financial gap, but it does so in a way that creates community connections amongst an economically diverse population.

FAM achieves its mission by multiplying the buying power of food assistance programs, such as SNAP, the Farmers Market Nutrition Program, WIC, and others. As a result, patrons using these programs take home up to three times more locally-sourced food and goods, which leads to better overall health outcomes, a stronger regional economy, and a more resilient local food ecosystem.
