Farmers Market Growing Season July 1 - November 15, 2007
NYC farmers markets provide an opportunity for residents to buy fresh and affordable produce while supporting regional farmers. Health Bucks, worth $2 each, are developed and distributed by NYC Health Department District Public Health Offices and can be used to purchase fresh fruits & vegetables at participating farmers markets (listed on each Health Buck).
At farmers markets that accept food stamps (Electronic Benefit Cards/EBT), one Health Buck coupon will be given to each customer for every $5 spent using food stamps.
The Health Department encourages all New Yorkers to eat more fruits and vegetables to improve their health and reduce their risk of diabetes, high-blood pressure, and heart disease. Support your local farmers markets and have a happy and healthy summer!
