NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Those in need of assistance purchasing fresh food can do so now at the Nashville Farmers Market through a new program.
The Nashville Farmers' Market Fresh Bucks program will match spending up to $100 for all customers that are using their EBT to purchase fresh food.
Shoppers will be able to use their EBT card to shop at the participating booths and then bring their EBT receipt to the info booth 173 in the farm shed to receive Fresh Bucks tokens equal to the amount spent.
The reimbursement booth is typically open on Saturdays and Sundays between 10 a.m. and 2 pm.
Participating vendors include Smiley’s Farm, Plano Produce, Hext Quality Meat, and Hancock Family Farms.

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
