Everyones Harvest

Fresh Rx is a produce prescription program funded by two grants and contracts with two hospitals in which physicians prescribe fruits and vegetables to their patients with diet-related diseases. The patients redeem their produce prescriptions at Everyone's Harvest farmers' markets. In 2024, more than 380 families participated, receiving $25 to $35 weekly for 19 weeks to purchased fruits and vegetables from the farmers at Everyone's Harvest farmers' markets. Participants in the program living with diabetes showed significant decreases in A1c, which is a measure of average blood sugar, after being in the program. Pediatric patients in the program showed significant decreases in BMI. Patients also showed significant improvements in fruit and vegetable intake.

Market Match is a dollar for dollar matching program for SNAP beneficiaries in which SNAP recipients who use their SNAP benefits at farmers' markets are given up to $30 extra per market day to buy fruits and vegetables. In 2024, 4224 SNAP customers purchased $169,392 from farmers and SNAP-eligible food vendors using SNAP and Market Match benefits.
