SNAP CSA
Whatley Farm is excited to offer a CSA option for customers who want to use their SNAP benefits to shop with us. Double your dollars with Maine Harvest Bucks in our flexible CSA program!
It’s really simple: sign up by visiting us at any of our farmers markets, or emailing whatleyfarm@gmail.com and start right away!
Each time you shop with us at market using SNAP/EBT, you will only be charged half of the cost of your fruits and vegetables from our stand. The other half is covered by grant funding from the Maine Harvest Bucks program. Your SNAP benefits can be used to buy meat and eggs, but the bonus portion covered by the grant can only be used for fruit and vegetables. Still, please take advantage of this amazing opportunity to get twice the value in organic produce from us!
You can sign up by sending us your name and phone number, and we will create a page for you in our CSA ledger, or you can come to any of our markets and we can create a page for you then.
At the market, you pick out what you want, and pay then. We use the paper voucher system to authorize and reserve payment - we fill out the vouchers at market with your exact purchase amount and we clear them after the market with our wired machine at home. That means the funds are not removed from your account immediately, but it will usually be later that day.
Please email us at whatleyfarm@gmail.com for a sign-up form!
We look forward to seeing you at our farmers’ markets!
