Napa Farmers Market
What We Do:
We build community around food. To make shopping at the market affordable for low-income households, we offer the CalFresh Market Match program. Market Match doubles CalFresh (“food stamp”) benefits dollar-for-dollar, doubling low-income shoppers’ budgets to purchase healthy, fresh, sustainably grown produce directly from the farmers.
The Napa Farmers Market is open Saturdays year-round and Tuesdays April through September from 8:30AM to 1PM. Farmers, specialty food vendors, artisans, and customers come together in the South Napa Century Center movie theater parking lot to shop, listen to live music, taste Harvest of the Month produce samples, and catch up with old friends. In six years, Napa Farmers Market’s CalFresh Market Match program has grown from $500 to more than $18,000. This means that in 2018, CalFresh families were able to purchase more than $36,000 in eligible items, including fresh fruits and vegetables, thanks in large part to donors like you.
