Community Partners and Support

AFM works to provide education and awareness about food, food production, accessibility, nutrition and sustainable living practices. We partner with Wake County and other organizations to make produce, proteins, goods and services available to all members of the community.

SNAP, WIC and Double Bucks

Thanks to Wake County support, we're able to offer SNAP, WIC and Double Bucks at the Apex Farmers Market. Double Bucks match the amount allotted by SNAP or WIC so you have more to spend at the market!

Stop by the Welcome Tent at any market to pick up your spending tokens. Review this flyer for extra information (PDF).

Giving Back to the Community

This year our goal is to partner with multiple organizations to give back to the community, especially the elderly and children.

Meals on Wheels

Through donations to the market and support from Wake County's P2P program (Produce to Pantry), we provide donations, purchased from our vendors, to the Apex Meals on Wheels Friendship Cafe at White Oak Foundation.

Green Waste Company

Starting on April 5, 2025, we will have a composting bin available at our welcome tent supplied by Green Waste Company.

Their motto is; if it came from the Earth, the Earth needs it back.

In the bin, they accept all organic materials, including paper products like paper towels, shredded paper, pizza boxes.
Items are donated to our partner farms to help cut feedstock and soil costs. Members of our pickup services receive bi-yearly complimentary compost delivery.
Learn more about their services and composting on our About Green Waste Company page or visit their site directly: Green Waste Company

At the Market

Through donations to the market and support from Wake County funding, we're able to provide kids toys, kit cards (free to take home), and games at every market.

We provide punch cards at the Welcome Tent, with swag items, like cooler bags, hats, and magnets, as prizes for every 8 stamps.

NOTE: During the Parking Lot construction (2025) we are partnering with downtown businesses to help support them. We are displaying their information at the welcome tent and including gift cards to their businesses as punch card prizes.
