BC Farmers' Market Nutrition Coupon Program - Nakusp

The BC Farmers' Market Nutrition Coupon Program Fund provides opportunities for lower-income families, seniors and pregnant women to buy fresh, local food at BC  farmers' markets.

Community partner organizations provide coupons to eligible individuals and families. Coupons can be spent at all BCAFM member farmers’ markets that participate in the FMNCP, and can be used to purchase vegetables, fruits, nuts, eggs, dairy, cut herbs, meat and fish.

Each household enrolled in the program is eligible to receive a minimum of $27/week in coupons. The program runs throughout the summer months when produce is most abundant across the province.

The Nakusp Farmers' Market is located at 608 Broadway Street (near Save-on-Foods) in Nakusp. Runs Saturdays 9am - 1pm from July to October.

The Nakusp Food Bank and the Arrow Lakes Better at Home , programs of  the Arrow & Slocan Lakes Community Services Society are Community Partners for the program in the Nakusp Area.
