The Granite State Market Match program allows SNAP customers to double the value of their benefits at participating farmers markets. Not only does this program provide access and affordable healthy, local foods for SNAP participants, it also provides economic benefits to the participating vendors/farmers and host communities. Please contact the Cheshire County Conservation District for more information.
