    Tokens can be spent on any SNAP-eligible item and Fresh Bucks can be spent on produce.

  • Fresh Bucks is a nutrition incentive program that provides the opportunity for individuals and families who utilize the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), recognized as Hoosier Works/EBT in Indiana, to purchase more fruits and vegetables from local farmers at participating Farmers Markets in Marion County. For more information on Fresh Bucks, please visit www.freshbucksindy.org.
