This is $15 of produce from the Napa Farmers Market.
If you donate $15, CalFresh (food stamp) customers get $30 through our Market Match Program to purchase TWICE AS MUCH produce as in this photo!
Your donation helps low-income families eat healthier at home:
79% of Market Match customers report they eat more fruits and vegetables as a result of the program.

In the past week:
Seven people donated $235!
|
|
|
Help us reach $2,355 so we beat our 2016 Give!Guide total by $1,000!
The average CalFresh debit is $25, so $2,355 will help about 100 low-income customers shop at the Napa Farmers Market!

Hamlow Farms
Hamlow Farms was voted as your favorite during National Farmers Market Week in August (when this pic was taken), and they're still going strong during our winter market! Check out their sensational citrus, including oranges, mandarins and pomelos, all grown on a third generation family-run farm in Turlock (Stanislaus County).
