Access to affordable fresh fruits & vegetables is at the heart of what we do. This includes folks being able to grow their own if they want to! Did you know Supplemental Food Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits can be used to purchase food-producing seeds & seedlings?
This includes the following items:
• Seeds for producing edible plants and edible plants (e.g., tomatoes and green pepper seeds or plants, and fruit trees);
• Edible food producing roots, bushes, and bulbs (e.g., asparagus crowns and onion bulbs); and
• Seeds and plants used to produce spices for use in cooking.
In partnership with the Food Trust & Just Harvest, we are able to distribute Food Bucks coupons for future purchases of fresh fruits & vegetables. Shoppers earn a $2 Food Buck coupon for every $5 spent using SNAP.
These coupons can be used at all of our farmstands, local farmers markets, and also some stores, including the East End Food Co-op.
