Alum Rock Village Farmers' Market

Market Match does more than stretch food budgets.

It helps parents put fresh fruits and vegetables on the table. It helps seniors access nutritious food. It helps local farmers reach more customers. It strengthens communities.

The State Senate is currently negotiating California's budget, and Market Match funding is still at risk. We need a full $20M allocation to protect this important program.

Together, we can help ensure Market Match continues serving Californians for years to come. 💚

Did you know zucchini is a summer squash? 🥒☀️

That's why we're highlighting it this month along with other summer squash varieties at the farmers market. Zucchini is delicious, low in calories, and packed with vitamin C. Basically, it's the perfect summer vegetable, especially when it's fresh from the market.

Every Market Match dollar supports two important goals: helping families bring home fresh produce and helping California farmers continue to thrive.

Right now, funding for the program is still being negotiated in Sacramento. The Assembly included $15M in its draft budget, but advocates are pushing for the full $20M needed to safeguard the program.

If farmers' markets matter to you, now is the time to speak up.
