Greaux the Good is Cultivating Community Across North Louisiana by Doubling Shoppers’ Food Funds
By Steve Licciardi

Every summer across North Louisiana farmers’ markets open their doors and invite community members to check off their grocery lists as they fill their baskets with nutritious produce, meats, and more. Farmers’ markets, farm stands, and other similar food businesses have become a staple food source for many residents in North Louisiana, and the food access they provide to residents in the region has been purposefully expanded through partnership with Greaux the Good, a program that doubles shoppers’ benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and/or the Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP).
