Boston Bounty Bucks

Don't forget about the Food Stamp/EBT/SNAP promotion, called the Boston Bounty Bucks Program. Any Food Stamp/EBT/SNAP purchase will be matched up to $10 at 14 Farmers Markets in Boston, including all of our Markets listed above. For example, if you spend $10 at the market with your EBT card, you can get an additional $10 to spend at the market. This is a great opportunity for Food Stamp/EBT/SNAP participants to double their money at the market to get more fresh produce, fruit, or unprepared food. Please spread the word!
