ABOUT

City Green's Good Food Bucks program is New Jersey's largest statewide EBT-Doubling nutrition incentive program for fruits and vegetables at farmers markets, grocery stores, and other fresh-food retailers. For every $1 you spend with your SNAP Families First EBT Card or your Summer EBT card at participating locations, you receive a Good Food Bucks coupon or discount for your fresh produce purchases. Get DOUBLE the amount of fruits and vegetables for the same price! Check out our list of participating locations to find out what markets offer Good Food Bucks near you!

Zero registration needed for shoppers to participate! All SNAP and Summer EBT shoppers are automatically eligible for Good Food Bucks benefits at our participating locations just by using their EBT card. For support applying for SNAP, you can connect with any of NJ's SNAP Navigators or apply at NJ SNAP. For more information about Summer EBT, you can check out New Jersey's website on the program.

City Green provides funding, training, and technical assistance to produce vendors of all shapes and sizes so that ALL of our neighbors can double the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables on their tables, while at the same time supporting the people who grow our food.

Through the Good Food Bucks Program, families across New Jersey can have access to the healthy, farm-fresh produce they deserve.

"The Good Food Bucks program has expanded our Farmers Market tremendously. It shows that shopping for fresh, local and healthy produce is accessible to everyone in our community. We have seen families benefit from our program and continue to come back weekly because this is one of the best ways to spend their money."

Manager at Riverview Farmers Market, Jersey City

"This program means a lot to me and my family. I want my kids to grow up eating healthy. It isn’t easy for us to buy fresh foods all the time. We never shopped at a farmers market before this year. At first it was very different for us but we really love coming here now. We’re thankful for the program and all the fresh foods we can have

at home now."
