Crossroads Farmers Market has been making fresh, healthy food more accessible in the Takoma/Langley Crossroads since 2007. The Fresh Checks program, which doubles the value of federal nutrition benefits like SNAP, is based on a simple idea: make fresh fruits and vegetables more affordable, and people will buy them.
