Food Access
Stretch your grocery budget and connect with community at the Mobile and Farmer's Market.
Take a cooking class, become a market vendor, match your EBT dollars, get groceries delivered, or volunteer in the garden!
SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)
If your food budget isn’t going far enough, let us help you enroll in SNAP—formerly known as Food Stamps or Food Support. In Minnesota, the money you get in SNAP benefits is put on an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, which you can use just like a debit card. SNAP benefits can be used at participating grocery stores, convenience stores and even some farmer's markets—including our Lincoln Park Farmer's Market. While eligibility is income-based, it does not have asset limits and even a relatively small amount of SNAP benefits can have an impact in making ends meet.

Deep Winter Greenhouse
Our innovative deep winter greenhouse is a passive solar growing system that allows us to grow food in the middle of winter, which we can sell at our Mobile Market or give away to local food shelves. Building this greenhouse wouldn’t have been possible without a strong collaboration between Seeds of Success and:
-
Junior League of Duluth
-
City of Duluth
-
Zeitgeist Center for Arts and Community
-
Wagner Zaun Architecture
The greenhouse shares a lot with the Duluth Community Garden Program. The greenhouse is located on the back half of the lot, while Denfeld Victory Garden and Edible Food Forest occupy the front half. Contact us with questions.
Mobile Market
The Mobile Market is a refrigerated van which visits Duluth neighborhoods to provide produce, dairy, canned and dried goods, and some household products at affordable prices. Locally produced goods are also featured. If you are interested, you can pre-order products here and pick them up at one of the scheduled market locations. We accept cash, credit, debit, and EBT.
Follow our Facebook page so that you know when the Mobile Market is coming to your neighborhood. There is approximately one pick-up per week, and you can access the schedule here.
Contact mobilemarket@communityactionduluth.org with questions or call 218-726-1665.

Farmer's Markets
We operate two summer farmers markets to bring fresh and healthy food to the Central Hillside and Lincoln Park neighborhoods.
Each market provides $25 dollar match for all SNAP participants and also runs the Power of Produce Club, which provides children under 18 and elders over 60 with $4 each market to be spent on fresh produce. Market details:
