Each season FRESHFARM makes updates to FreshMatch policies based on client feedback, budget restrictions, and organizational capacity.
2025 FreshMatch Policy Update
Starting August 13th, the FreshMatch cap will increase to $30 per shopper, per day while funding allows.
- FreshMatch cap on SNAP/EBT is $30 per shopper, per day at all FRESHFARM locations in Washington, DC, MD, and VA.
- FreshMatch cap on SNAP/EBT is $30 per shopper, per day at non-FRESHFARM partner locations in Washington, DC.
- FreshMatch cap on FMNP is $30 per shopper, per day at FRESHFARM locations in VA and MD.**
**At FRESHFARM locations in Washington, DC, FMNP match is digitized in the Farmers Register app for Senior FMNP and in the Farm Market Direct app for WIC FMNP.
Why is this happening?
This change is possible thanks to a generous donation from the Maryland-based Schattner Foundation. “During these challenging times of shrinking public support for communities most in need, we challenge others to join us in sustaining the vital link between local producers and vulnerable households,” explains a Schattner Foundation representative. “Our support helps keep community food systems intact and ensures small farms can continue operating sustainably.”
