HOW IT WORKS

SNAP/EBT Households can receive up to $60 in fresh food purchase tokens – plus $60 more in local food class & farm tour scholarship tokens to attend great food classes and workshops, get to know local farms and farmers, attend family farm-to-plate dinners, pick your own produce and discover delicious new recipes.

That is a potential of $120 in free local food and learning experiences to enrich your household’s consumption of fresh, delicious locally grown foods.

Valid through 2/15/2015

Funded by the USDA as a local food security pilot project; Developed and Managed by One Island’s Same Canoe Local Food Challenge.
