Following the lead of comparable organizations around the country, and with the support of national organization Wholesome Wave, Farm Fresh RI institutes a nutrition incentive program called Bonus Bucks. Bonus Bucks gives Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) shoppers an extra $2 to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables for every $5 they spend with their EBT card at participating farmers markets. In the first year of Bonus Bucks implementation, SNAP sales increase over 600% across Rhode Island markets!
