Expanding Food AccessConnecting Our Communities with Local Farmers and Small Businesses Farmers markets and the fresh locally grown food available there can be inaccessible to individuals and families who leverage food assistance programs FAM helps to bridge the financial gap in a way that also creates community connections amongst an economically diverse population. HOW IT WORKS FAM patrons come to the farmers market and pick out their items from eligible vendors. After identifying themselves as a FAM patron the customer receives a receipt for their items. FAM patrons process all of their transactions at a central location where the match is applied.
