At both our Good Food Market and Veggie Mobile® locations throughout the Capital Region, customers can:

·       Use Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) coupons to purchase a wide selection of local fresh fruits and vegetables (we are at peak season!).

·       SNAP users automatically save 50% on fresh produce through the Double Up Food Bucks program no signup necessary.

The Veggie Mobile schedule is attached, and the Good Food Market is located at 598 River St. open Tues-Fri 10am-7pm and Sat 10am-4pm.
