El Mercado Agrícola "Route 1" se ha unido al programa "Market Match"

Muchos mercados agrícolas de nuestro condado aceptan la tarjeta EBT de CalFresh y ofrecen el programa Market Match que puede duplicar el valor de los beneficios de CalFresh gastados allí. (Consulte este folleto imprimible para obtener más información, incluida una lista de los mercados participantes).

Pero hasta ahora, si vivías en el área de Lompoc, no tenías un mercado que participara en el programa. ¡Eso está cambiando ahora! A partir del domingo 14 de junio de 2020, el mercado de agricultores de Route 1 en el área de Lompoc ofrece Market Match. ¡Gasta $ 10 en beneficios de CalFresh y obtendrá $ 20 en fichas para comprar alimentos frescos, saludables y cultivados localmente en el mercado!

Puede comprar frutas, verduras, panes, cereales, productos horneados, carne, pescado, aves, leche, huevos, queso, mermeladas, jalea, miel, semillas y plantas que producen alimentos. (No puede utilizar los beneficios para comprar alimentos calientes, jabón, artículos no alimentarios, alcohol, tabaco, vitaminas o medicamentos).

El mercado de agricultores de la Ruta 1 está ubicado en 3745 Constellation Road en el vecindario de Vandenberg Village y está abierto los domingos de 10 a.m. a 2 p.m.

Route 1 Farmers Market joins Market Match program

Many Farmers Markets in our County accept the CalFresh EBT card—and offer the Market Match program that can double the value of CalFresh benefits spent there. (See this printable brochure for more information, including a list of participating markets.)

But until now, if you lived in the Lompoc area, you didn't have a market that participated in the program. That's changing now! Starting Sunday June 14 2020, the Route 1 Farmers Market in the Lompoc area is offering Market Match. Cash in $10 worth of CalFresh benefits, and you'll get $20 worth of tokens to buy fresh, healthy, locally grown food at the market!

You can buy fruits, vegetables, breads, cereals, baked goods, meat, fish, poultry, milk, eggs, cheese, jams, jelly, honey, seeds and plants which produce food. (You cannot use the benefits to buy hot foods, soap, non-food items, alcohol, tobacco, vitamins or medicine.)

The Route 1 Farmers Market is located at 3745 Constellation Road in the Vandenberg Village neighborhood and is open Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
