Market Umbrella is excited to announce that we’ve received a new USDA Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program award, one that will allow us to continue and expand this program. From now through the holiday season, Market Umbrella will be offering unlimited dollar-for-dollar Match to purchase fruits and vegetables through the end of 2020, so the $20 limit no longer applies and shoppers can spend any amount they choose.

Unlimited Market Match will be available at all Crescent City Farmers Market locations, online though WhatsGood for pre-order, Top Box Foods Louisiana home delivery, and the SPROUT NOLA ReFresh Farmers' Market 🍅

SNAP shoppers will also have the opportunity to learn some new chops through cooking classes offered through the Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine at Tulane University
