The Market Information Booth serves as the hub of our Food Access Program

Everyone is welcome at the Portland Farmers' Market! Receive SNAP benefits? We are here for you.
Please stop by the Market Info Booth to learn more about how we can help stretch your food budget

PFMA is a state recognized non-profit, and our Program operating costs are covered by our ongoing fundraising: Friends of the Market memberships, sales of Market Goods, Donations, Program Sponsorships, grant funding, and fundraising events. 

When you support our fundraising, you are supporting the entire market community, and we thank you!
 

SNAP/EBT Access & Wooden Tokens

SNAP, Maine Harvest Bucks & Senior FarmShare

Use your SNAP/EBT card to get wooden tokens that can be used to shop at any farm vendors booth who sells food products!

Thanks to Maine Harvest Bucks, we also offer a nutrition incentive to SNAP customers. We currently offer a 50% match: for every 2 dollars spent with SNAP at our market, we match your purchase with 1 dollar in bonus tokens to spend on fruits, vegetables at food-bearing seedlings and plants from any farm vendor at the market! 

Credit/debit tokens are no longer available for purchase at the Market Info Booth (but Bumper Crop gift certificates are!). Any purple credit/debit tokens on hand can still be spent at our farmers' booths. Most, but NOT ALL, farmers accept credit/debit at their booths. Please BRING CASH to shop with all farmers.

The Maine Senior FarmShare Program is open for enrollment June-early September of each year. Visit this page to learn more!
