BIG news: Starting May 1st, Maine Harvest Bucks is jumping to a 100% match!! Now when you shop with SNAP at a participating market, you’ll receive the same amount in bonus Maine Harvest Bucks to spend on fresh fruits and veggies or food-bearing seedlings. It’s like doubling your farmers’ market budget! Start at the Info Booth with any questions. We hope this will help you and your family have a more bountiful summer during these tight financial times. Please help spread the word among people you know!
There are 43 (and counting) Maine farmers’ markets that take SNAP and let you earn Maine Harvest Bucks. At maineharvestbucks.org you can find a list of all locations.
Have you ever wondered if you qualify for SNAP? Browse your eligibility at benefits.gov. You can apply directly online at maine.gov.
