Farm Tour! Our second farm tour of the summer is leaving at 9:30 am on August 22nd from San Pedro Square in San Jose. We will visit Far West Fungi's underground mushroom farm, then stop for an amazing gourmet lunch prepared by our farmers' market chefs before visiting two other great farms.

We are looking for partner organizations who would like to host classes, and volunteer chefs and nutritionists who would like to teach them. To get involved, visit our blog for more information about upcoming events and trainings. Food Stamp Incentive Program Fresh Approach has partnered with thirteen Bay Area farmers’ markets to offer food stamp recipients a special incentive this summer: Spend at least $10 in SNAP (food stamps) at the market, and receive $5 for free to spend at the market.The incentive program began on June 1 and will continue through the end of August in San Francisco, Alameda County, Contra Costa County, and San Jose. For a full list of markets offering the incentive, please call Sarah Nelson at (925) 825 9090. Funding for this project has been provided by the California Department of Food and Agriculture and Roots of Change.
