FARMERS MARKETS

Starting December 1, 2024, the Healthy Incentives Program (HIP) benefit is limited to $20/month for every household regardless of size. This is change is because there is not enough money for the program this year. Check back for updates as this is an evolving situation and visit the MA Food System Collaborative’s Campaign for HIP Funding to learn more.

If you have SNAP, Massachusetts automatically gives you an EXTRA $40-80 to spend on fruits and vegetables from farmers markets and farm stands through the Healthy Incentives Program (HIP)

Somerville offers a SNAP match of up to $15/week at the Davis, Union, and Winter farmers markets. For every dollar of SNAP you spend, you get an EXTRA dollar, e.g. if you spend $8, you can purchase $16 of food. 

Use your benefits and shop at a farmers market near you! Somerville has 3 spring-summer-fall markets and one of the only winter farmers markets in the area.
