NOFA-NH's Farm Share Program
NOFA-NH's Farm Share Program provides funds for limited-income New Hampshire residents to purchase certified organic Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares, also known as farm shares, at discounted prices across the state. The program especially benefits children, families, and seniors, and has partnered with 15 farms to provide 167 shares to 550+ community members since 2017.
How It Works: NOFA-NH contributes 50% of funds toward each farm share, recipients contribute 25%, and farm partners donate the remaining 25%.
Thank you to everyone who has applied. We will be contacting applicants shortly. Please reach out to xochi@nofanh.org with questions or concerns.
