During the growing season, a portion of the produce from the Growing Matters Gardens is sold at the 100-Mile Market as well inside the store at the People's Food Co-op in downtown Kalamazoo. We are proud to announce that SNAP benefits (EBT/bridge card/food stamps) can be used to purchase our produce.
