Expanding Farm Fresh Double SNAP Benefits

This report presents a description of the formation of the Western North Carolina Farm Fresh Double SNAP Network and an assessment of the Network’s impact on community members and the local food system. In 2023, the Network was formed by the nonprofit Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project with support from partners Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture, MountainWise, and a Network Advisory Council. The Network was created to provide centralized support for over two dozen unique SNAP-incentive programs in the region and to expand SNAP-incentive programs to the more rural communities of Western North Carolina.
