The New Brunswick Community Farmers Market (NBCFM) was specifically set up to provide low-income residents with greater access to fresh, local, culturally-appropriate fruits and vegetables. It is a collaborative program between Rutgers University, Johnson & Johnson, and the City of New Brunswick. It accepts SNAP, WIC, and SFMNP vouchers and provides an extra incentive to buy healthy produce by adding “Market Bucks” to the value of the federal assistance vouchers, increasing their buying power. The NBCFM also hosts a community garden, and a children’s garden on site, complete with a grape arbor, bee hives, and chickens. It also hosts outdoor “movie nights” every Saturday in August.
Without farms, our markets and tables would be empty. Get a free "No Farms No Food" bumper sticker to show off your support of America's farmers and ranchers.
