Using your Veggie Rx Vouchers
What are Veggie Rx vouchers?
Veggie Rx vouchers are “prescriptions,” for you and your family to spend on fruits and vegetables. Use these vouchers as a no-cost opportunity for you and your household to figure out how to eat more fruits and vegetables per person every week.
This is a great chance to explore different fruits and vegetables that you have not tried, or may not have liked before!
What can I buy with Veggie Rx vouchers?
Veggie Rx vouchers can only be used to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables, and cut herbs. They cannot be used for prepared foods or any other items at the farmers’ market.
How do I buy fruits and vegetables with my Veggie Rx vouchers?
Your Veggie Rx vouchers are like cash. Use them at the individual farm stalls at any farmers’ market listed on the following pages as you would use regular cash. Change will not be given for Veggie Rx vouchers.
If you are having trouble selecting produce for the exact amount of your vouchers, let the farmer know – they’ll be happy to help you reach an even total!
The farmer won’t accept my vouchers. What do I do?
If a farmer won’t accept your vouchers as payment, go to the information booth at the market and talk to the Market Manager.
Sometimes farmers will send new staff members to the markets who may not have learned about Veggie Rx vouchers yet, so the Market Manager will come to the farm stall with you and explain the vouchers to the farmer.
Your vouchers are accepted by all of the farmers selling fruits and vegetables at all of the farmers’ markets in this brochure.
Cómo utilizar sus cupones de Veggie Rx
Qué son los cupones de Veggie Rx?
Los cupones de Veggie Rx son “prescripciones” para gastar en frutas y verduras para toda su familia. Usa los cupones como una oportunidad sin costo para averiguar cómo comer más frutas y verduras por persona en su hogar cada semana. ¡Es una gran oportunidad para explorar una diversidad de frutas y verduras que no haya probado o tal vez no le haya gustado antes!
Qué puedo comprar con los cupones de Veggie Rx?
Los cupones de Veggie Rx sólo se pueden utilizar para comprar frutas y verduras frescas y hierbas cortadas. No se pueden utilizar para comidas preparadas o cualquier otro producto en el mercado de agricultores.
Como puedo comprar fruta y verdura con mis cupones de Veggie Rx?
Sus cupones de Veggie Rx se usan como dinero en efectivo; utiliza los cupones en puestos individuales enumerados en las siguientes páginas igual como el dinero efectivo. No se dará cambio por los cupones de Veggie Rx.
Si tiene dificultad seleccionando frutas y verduras con la cantidad exacta de sus cupones, comunícase con el granjero – ellas/os le ayudarán con gusto para completar su compra.
La agricultora/el agricultor no aceptó mis cupones. ¿Qué debo hacer?
Si en cualquier momento no aceptan sus cupones en el mercado de agricultores, vaya al puesto de información para hablar con el Gerente del Mercado.
A veces los granjeros mandan nuevos empleados a los mercados que no saben sobre los cupones de Veggie Rx, en esos casos el Gerente del Mercado irá al puesto con usted y explicará el uso de los cupones con el granjero.
Sus cupones son válidos con todos los granjeros vendiendo frutas y verduras en los mercados enumerados en esta lista.
