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 24 farms to provide 231 shares to 730+ 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%.

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.

Granite State Market Match 

Granite State Market Match doubles SNAP/EBT benefits for fruits and vegetables at participating farmers markets, farm stands, and CSAs. Double Up Food Bucks gives 50% off fresh fruits and vegetables (up to $20 a day) at participating retail locations. These programs help households purchase more fresh fruits and vegetables all while supporting local farmers. Granite State Market Match and Double Up Food Bucks can both be used to purchase or receive a discount on fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, seeds, and seedlings.

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.
