Rippling Waters has recently received a small grant which will enable us to provide a financial incentive to SNAP (formerly the Food Stamp Program) or WIC recipients to join our CSA.
MOFGA received the grant through the Wholesome Wave foundation to subgrant to Maine CSA farms who are vendors of either the SNAP or WIC program with the intent of encouraging participation by reducing the cost of the share for these members.
SNAP or WIC program recipients will be able to pay as they buy our fresh vegetables and fruit and will receive a 50% discount as an incentive to participate in the program. As we only have enough funds to provide discounts for 14 SNAP or WIC participants please be sure to apply early. by calling the farm at 642-5161.
