Cloud City Farm Now Accepting SNAP Produce Bonus
Fresh, Local Produce Just Became More Affordable for Lake County Families!
Cloud City Farm in Leadville is the newest location in the state to offer Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus, making healthy food more affordable for families in our community.
Anyone who receives SNAP benefits and has a Colorado EBT card can get up to $60 per month from the Produce Bonus program—no sign up required! The program provides a dollar for dollar match directly to the EBT card when you buy eligible fruits and vegetables from participating locations. The bonus is automatically available the next time you make a purchase with your EBT card, and it can be spent on any SNAP eligible item at any SNAP authorized location.
At Cloud City Farm, you can find fresh produce grown on-site at 10,200 feet, plus fruits and veggies sourced from other regional farms.
Colorado was one of three states chosen by the USDA to pilot this type of electronic incentives program. It launched in August 2024 and is being implemented by Colorado Department of Human Services and Nourish Colorado, a non-profit organization that works to build resilient local food systems and increase food access across Colorado. Receiving the bonus directly back to an EBT card means there are no additional vouchers, receipts, or loyalty accounts to keep track of, and it has proven to be convenient for Coloradans, with redemption rates greater than 99% since the program launched.
Sarah Hamilton, C4’s Farm Director, said “We’re so excited to make healthy local produce more affordable and accessible for our Lake County community. We hope that the SNAP Produce Bonus program will open the door for many more residents to enjoy the amazing variety of fresh local produce available at Cloud City Farm.”
“These programs strengthen Colorado’s local food system, putting more dollars directly into the hands of our farmers and supporting the resilience of our agricultural economy,” said Daysi Sweaney, Director of Nutrition Incentives at Nourish Colorado. “When we make it easier to access nutritious food, we nourish families, uplift farmers, and build a healthier, more equitable Colorado."
