Farmers Markets: Feeding The Hungry

Farmers' Markets and Food Cupboards. Several ways in which food from Maine farmers' markets can make its way to the hungry. Detailed descriptions of methods already in place and working.

Gleaning. Allowing people come in to “clean up” after your harvest is over.

Set up a system for using EBT at your farmers' market.

Teach people how to garden. Connect with your community, promote your farm and your market by sharing your skills in talks to groups organized by other organizations.

Offer bulk pricing on products when they are in abundance. [coming soon]

Open a market, or a branch of your market, within walking distance of a low income community. [coming soon]
