MFT’s Farm Fresh Rewards program provides additional money for low-income shoppers to purchase more locally-grown fruits and vegetables at participating stores. Farm Fresh Rewards serves everyone: low-income shoppers can buy more locally-produced food; Maine farmers gain new customers; and more food dollars stay in the local economy. We currently partner with 20 stores across the state to offer the program—from food co-ops, to natural food stores, to on-farm stores—and we are looking for new locations!
Do you know of a community-oriented store in your area that sells locally-produced foods and accepts SNAP/EBT (food stamps)? We want to hear about it! Please send any recommendations to catherine@mainefarmlandtrust.org, and we can follow-up with the store to find out if it could be a good fit. Thank you!
