Farmers Markets

FARMERS MARKETS

Bringing resources & fresh produce to underserved areas across Southwest Texas.

Bringing Fresh, Local Produce to Our Community

The San Antonio Food Bank is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of our community by increasing access to fresh, nutritious produce. We partner with local farmers to bring high-quality fruits and vegetables directly to families and seniors in need.

We are proud to host a variety of Farmers’ Markets where eligible WIC participants and seniors can receive federal FMNP vouchers to purchase fresh, nutritious produce.

2024 Farmers Market Season

Join us at our upcoming farmers markets, operating now through October 31, 2024.
