Walpole, NH (May 15, 2024) – The Granite State Market Match program allows SNAP/EBT users to double the value of their benefits when shopping at participating farmers markets, community supported agriculture programs (CSA’s), and farm stands in NH.

Receive 50% off at participating farm stands and CSA’s! Receive a dollar-for-dollar match at participating farmers’ markets! For example, spend $10 in SNAP/EBT benefits at a farmers’ market and receive an additional $10 to spend of fresh, locally grown vegetables and fruit!⁠

Not only does Granite State Market Match provide access to affordable, local food for SNAP/EBT customers, it also provides economic benefits to the participating vendors, farmers, and host communities.
