Vermont Farm Share Program
NOFA Vermont’s Farm Share Program helps you pay for a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share. A CSA share is like a magazine subscription, in which pay up front for your vegetables in the spring. After that, you have a ‘share’ and farmers will supply you with a portion of the harvest (usually a box of vegetables) once a week throughout the season. You may participate if you meet the income eligibility guidelines of 185% of the poverty level.

3SquaresVT
3SquaresVT is a program through the Vermont Department for Children and Families that helps low-income families put 3 square meals on their table each day. If eligible, families will receive a monthly benefit in the form of an EBT card, which functions like a credit card at participating Vermont stores and farmers’ markets. To find out if you are eligible, visit http://dcf.vermont.gov/benefits/3SquaresVT.
Harvest Health Coupon Project
The Harvest Health Coupon Project is a coupon incentive project designed to encourage more 3SquaresVT customers to utilize their EBT cards at farmers markets, help 3SquaresVT/SNAP participants purchase more locally produced foods, support the local agricultural economy by building stronger direct market relationships between farmers market vendors and Vermont consumers and expand the customer base for Vermont farmers’ market vendors. Harvest Health coupons are available at most farmers’ markets that accept EBT. Harvest Health coupons are awarded to EBT customers at participating markets as a $2 match for every $2 in tokens that a customer purchases, up to $10 per customer, per market day. Customers spend Harvest Health coupons at the market they received them from, as if they were EBT tokens.
