NOFA-NH's
Farm Share Program
​NOFA-NH's Farm Share Program provides funds and support for New Hampshire community members with limited incomes to purchase certified organic and sustainably grown Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares, also known as farm shares, at discounted prices across the state. The program especially benefits children, families, seniors, and those most affected by the current inequities in our food system. Since 2017 NOFA-NH has partnered with 27 farms to provide 305 shares to 1,000+ community members in 9 NH counties.
​
How It Works: NOFA-NH contributes 50% of funds toward each farm share, recipients contribute 25%, and farm partners donate the remaining 25%.
Farm Share Program Applications are now closed.
Here is a document out lining what to expect for the program, including a timeline and protocol for potential accepted applicants.
More Food Access Resources
We know that food insecurity continues to be a growing concern for many people in New Hampshire. We at NOFA-NH want everyone to have as much access to fresh, healthy, local, and organic food as possible. Although our Farm Share Program continues to grow and serve more and more people each year, we acknowledge that there are limitations to our program and want to share resources, services, and programs that can increase access to local, fresh food for those facing food insecurity in our state.
​
At participating farmers’ markets, farm stands, CSAs, and grocery retailers when shoppers spend SNAP/EBT we increase their purchasing power. It’s easy! Simply shop with SNAP/EBT and Granite State Market Match or Double Up Food Bucks at participating acceptance sites, for the dollar amount you would like to spend. You’ll get one dollar ($1) tokens you can use to buy SNAP-eligible food at the market for the amount requested from your SNAP/EBT card and receive vouchers to spend on fruit and vegetables.
MWVEG Food for All Food Access Program
Mount Washington Valley Eaters and Growers (MWVEG) is helping to make local food accessible to low-income community members through several fundraisers. $100-$250 in vouchers will be distributed based on funds available, family size, and individual circumstances to buy local food from farms.
