Alchemist CDC’s CalFresh at Farmers’ Markets program operates CalFresh processing at multiple farmers’ markets throughout Sacramento County. The CalFresh program offers qualifying lower income individuals financial assistance in purchasing food for themselves and their families. Farmers’ markets are a great asset to communities, and can lead to improved health for area residents. By making it easier for lower-income populations to purchase food at farmers’ markets, these community assets will become more equitable and accessible to all individuals. CalFresh at Farmers’ Markets volunteers assist in processing SNAP transactions, distribute EBT and Market Match vouchers, and assist in redemption of vouchers from farmers’ market vendors.
The Meadowview Certified Farmers' Market is located at 3501 Meadowview Rd Sacramento, CA 95822. The market is located at the Meadowview Light Rail Station and our CalFresh Booth is located in the center of the market. There is ample parking around the market, and there is a Portable Restroom on site. The CalFresh booth tent is bright green so it should be easy to spot!
