Denio’s Farmers Market & Swap Meet in Roseville, California, is now participating in the CalFresh Food Assistance Program, making it easier for eligible participants to access fresh produce. The program, formerly known as Food Stamps, provides assistance through an EBT card to help households meet their nutritional needs. This partnership aims to improve the health and well-being of individuals by offering a convenient way to purchase fruits and vegetables at Denio’s.
CalFresh Program participants can use their state-issued EBT cards at Denio’s to buy produce from over 70 vendors at the market. Denio’s offers a wide variety of affordable fruits, vegetables, and plant products that are eligible under the program. To facilitate this process, Denio’s has introduced a token system where customers can exchange their EBT benefits for tokens to use at the market, allowing them to shop with ease and convenience.
Ken Denio, the owner of Denio’s, emphasizes the importance of providing quality and nutritious food options to customers through the CalFresh Program. Established in 1947, Denio’s has been a staple in the community, supporting local growers and vendors by offering farm-fresh produce. The market serves as a place for neighbors to connect and enjoy fresh, locally sourced products.
Edie Jessup, a program specialist, commends Denio’s for its commitment to making the CalFresh Program available to customers. Open-air markets like Denio’s provide a unique shopping experience for diverse cultural groups, fostering community engagement and healthy eating habits.
