The impact of this program

“ This program is, on many levels a life-saver, in that I get to eat…good quality food, I get to support my local farmers and vendors, and in my mind, all of that is a win-win. Overall the mental and physical health benefits and the opportunity to get more food are huge for me. It’s a big deal. ”
– Farm Fresh Rewards Shopper

The impact of this program

“ Retailers throughout Maine provide a vital access point for more Maine farmers to benefit from nutrition incentives. When more Mainers can buy more local food, everyone wins: families can make healthier choices, farmers and local food outlets gain new customers, and local economies thrive. ”
– Courtney Kennedy Director of Nutrition at Good Shepherd Food Bank

The impact of this program

“ The switch from paper vouchers to point-of-sale discounts is making it even easier to use Farm Fresh Rewards. And with this change, SNAP/EBT shoppers receive a 50% discount on a wider variety of eligible fruits, veggies, legumes, and seedlings. ”
– Meg Brown Community Nutrition Manager at Good Shepherd Food Bank
