Research Paper Published on the Impact of COVID-19 on CalFresh and Market Match Spending at Farmers Markets

What barriers and opportunities did low-income consumers face at farmers markets during the COVID-19 pandemic?

A paper addressing the topic has been published as a result of a 4-year research project Petaluma Bounty participated in. This study, part of a larger community-engaged research project, focused on the shopping patterns of low-income consumers at farmers markets during the pandemic.
