What is the CA Fruit and Veggie EBT Pilot Program?

Get more fruits and vegetables when you spend your CalFresh EBT dollars at participating grocery stores. For each $1 of your CalFresh EBT that you spend on any fresh fruits and vegetables you get $1 back on your EBT card.

How it works


Step 1
Use your EBT card to buy fresh fruits and vegetables at a participating grocery store
Step 2
For every $1 you spend, earn $1 back on your EBT Card, up to $60 per month

Step 3
Spend your CA Fruit and Veggie EBT Incentives on anything Calfresh/EBT eligible at any store in a future shopping trip.
