Route One Farmers' Market

About Route One Farmers' Market

We’re excited to host more than a dozen vendors from the Central Coast, including many businesses that are owned and operated right here in the Lompoc Valley. They offer local seasonal produce, hand-pressed juices, pastries, honey, fresh-cut flowers, local artisan crafts, lavender goods and so much more. CalFresh EBT Route One is the only farmer’s market within a 67-mile stretch (between the cities of San Luis Obispo and Solvang) to accept both EBT and Market Match. It’s our goal to promote access to fresh, local produce no matter one’s budget. To learn more about EBT, visit www.getcalfresh.org Market Match Market Match doubles EBT benefits up to $10 by matching them with $10 in market tokens to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition, the program pays for our Market Navigator, Sonia Sandoval, who helps Spanish-speaking shoppers who might be unfamiliar with the market. Route One was created through a collaborative effort with the Lompoc Valley Community Healthcare Organization (LVCHO) as an effort through the Healthy Lompoc Coalition and the Healthy Eating Active Living (“HEAL”) Advisory Cabinet. The creation of the traditional market, and now the 501c3 non-profit, was intended to fill a gap created by the lack of community access to local produce as well as lack of support advocating for sustainable access that not only supports, but helps complete our local food system. The primary way that this founding mission is served by Route One is by providing a platform to access local food that is purchasable with any available food incentive programs. This includes but is not limited to: CalFresh EBT, WIC Farmers Market Checks, Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Checks, and other purchase empowering giveaways as funding allows.
