Health Bucks
Health Bucks are $2 coupons that can be used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at all NYC farmers markets and farm stands.
There are more than 120 farmers markets and farm stands across the five boroughs every summer and fall. For days and hours of operation of locations open year-round, visit the NYC Health Map. To find a farmers market or farm stand near you, text “So Good” to 55676 (or “Muy Rico” for Spanish).
How to Get Health Bucks
Recipients of SNAP Benefits
For every $2 spent at farmers markets and farm stands using SNAP on an EBT card, you can get $2 in Health Bucks, up to $10 per day. Health Bucks are available year-round at NYC farmers markets and farm stands that accept EBT.
Community and Faith-Based Organizations
Not-for-profit organizations can apply to receive free Health Bucks to distribute to community members as an incentive to participate in nutrition education and other health-related activities.
The 2025 Application for Health Bucks is now closed. These Health Bucks were limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. The 2026 Application for Health Bucks will be available in Spring 2026.
If your organization would like to purchase Health Bucks coupons, email farmersmarkets@health.nyc.gov for more information.
