Farmers’ Markets

Healthy Acadia works across Hancock and Washington counties to support and grow farmers' markets and to help increase awareness of, and access to, these markets, particularly among people experiencing low income.

We can help your local farmers' market become equipped to accept SNAP (formerly known as food stamps). We also work with Farmers' Markets and market vendors to enable them to participate in Maine Harvest Bucks. The program enables shoppers who receive SNAP benefits to shop at farmers’ markets, farm stands, and CSA’s with Maine Harvest Bucks - “nutrition incentives,” which increase the value of federal nutrition assistance dollars (SNAP/EBT) spent at participating markets. For every dollar spent on SNAP-eligible foods with their SNAP/EBT card at a participating market, shoppers receive an extra “buck” in Maine Harvest Bucks to be spent on fruits and vegetables. Maine Harvest Bucks can be spent that day, or saved for later in the month or year.
