Nourishing Communities with our Food Token Program!

“Everyone Deserves to Eat Great Food”

Did you know? Nova Scotia holds the unfortunate distinction of being the most food insecure province in Canada. But together, we can make a difference!

So, how does the program work exactly?

Step 1: We join hands with Farmers’ Market Nova Scotia, our Provincial Government, and local social organizations that play a vital role in identifying households facing food insecurity. Together, we work to ensure those in need can participate in the program.

Step 2: Participants receive special "food bucks," an anonymous alternative currency that can be redeemed at any vendor stall in their local farmers' market. We've designed this currency to seamlessly blend in with the market's existing system, ensuring participants can shop with dignity without attracting unwanted attention.

Step 3: Vendors happily accept these "food bucks" and exchange them with their market manager to receive payment for the wonderful products they've sold. By doing so, they not only help address food insecurity but also boost revenue for small, local businesses, strengthening our community in the process.

✓ Together, we are addressing food insecurity head-on. ✓ We're building a stronger, more connected community. ✓ And we're proud to support small, local businesses every step of the way.

Join us in making a positive impact and nourishing our communities!
