SNAP and HIP

We are pleased to accept SNAP / EBT payments for all of our farm products, including CSA Shares!  We can easily process SNAP payments at our farmers market booths as well as at our farm stand.

HIP

The Healthy Incentives Program (HIP) began in 2017 as a way to increase accessibility to healthy, local food.  HIP is a matching program where participants receive $1 for each dollar spent on eligible fruits and vegetables, up to a monthly limit based on household size.  Incentives are instantly applied to the SNAP recipients's EBT card at the time of purchase and are available immediately for any future SNAP eligible purchase.

SNAP / HIP Farm Shares

Customers who use their SNAP card to pay for a farm share are eligible to receive a 45% or more discount off of the regular price based on their HIP benefit.  Here's how....


  1. Monthly payments are set up to spread the share price over the 5 month CSA season beginning in June.  
  2. The payments are automatically deducted from your EBT account on the date you receive your SNAP benefit each month.
  3. HIP benefits are instantly applied to your EBT account at the time of payment.  $40, $60, or $80 depending on household size.
Example of savings:
Monthly Payments: $90 x 5 months = $450
HIP Credit: $40 x 5 months = $200
Actual Cost: $250 = 45% off regular price!!!
