SNAP at Farmers Markets

Supporting Farmers, Nourishing Communities

Texas Center for Local Food’s A Fresh Look at Your Farmers Market project closed on September 30th, 2025 due to funding cuts.

This ground-breaking project helped strengthen SNAP programs at Texas farmers markets. It proved that SNAP boosts farmers’ revenue and increases community access to fresh, healthy local food 

Our team transitioned our support services to help markets accept SNAP and increase SNAP sales, to our TXFED.org courses, so y’all can still access high-quality, service to support your market.

How Can I Get Involved?

Supporting local food systems starts with small actions: shop at farmers markets, choose local products, or advocate for local food initiatives in your community.

We create opportunities for everyone to be part of building a stronger local food network. 

Together, we can grow a healthier, more connected Texas.
