Food Security & The Joy of Fresh Food

The Milk Lady Farmers Markets gladly accepts SNAP/EBT and WIC/FMNP programs. 

​For 2022, we will match up to $40 in SNAP Match per customer, per day  

Matching Dollars For WIC, SFNMP & SNAP

​The Milk Lady Farmers Markets' Matching Dollars Program is ongoing since 2011. The program helps make farm fresh food more affordable to customers who spend their nutrition assistance benefits with our farmers. Donate below or become a sponsor to gain opportunities for exposure and interaction at the market.

We provide a match of up to $30 of market bucks per day for each customer spending up to $30 of SNAP-EBT, WIC, or SFMNP government benefits. 
​Matching Dollars are free market bucks we give out at our Welcome Booth. The tokens match any purchase made by shoppers using SNAP (Food Stamps), WIC (Women, Infants and Children) or SFMNP (Senior Nutrition) coupons.  The market tokens can be spent at any farm booth at Derwood and Shady Grove farmers markets.  So their benefits go twice as far with the help of your donation to our Matching Dollars Program.

“Thank you so much, my wife and I really appreciate the extra vegetables and especially the fruits we are able to get with the Matching Dollars, as we live only on social security benefits.”

 “I made between $250 and $350 each market day in WIC and SNAP Matching Dollars this year.  I’m really surprised, that’s a good chunk of my daily earnings.”

Our chefs offer cooking demos based on seasonal ingredients from our farmers. Our two recent chef partners at both markets are United Healthcare Community Nutrition and University of MD's Food Supplement Nutrition Education (FSNE). 
Our Sample Booth initiative at Derwood market is where we offer and educate the public on in-season products from our food vendors and farmers. We slice and sample produce like turnips, carrots, kholrabi and introduce them for salads; also fruits, preserves and cheeses. 

Freshness Awaits
