We believe everyone deserves access to healthy and fresh food regardless of personal circumstances.

The Andover Farmers Market accepts SNAP, HIP, WIC and Senior FMNP coupons.

SNAP - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

Use your SNAP EBT card at the Andover Farmers Market to buy eligible foods.

We will provide a Market Match of up to $25 for our SNAP Customers per market day. Here’s how to take advantage of your benefits:  

Start at the Information Table

  • We will swipe your EBT card for the agreed upon amount of SNAP dollars and match up to $25 additional dollars. $10 becomes $20, $20 becomes $40, $25 becomes $50. We give tokens for both SNAP and match to be used to purchase your items.

  • The tokens can be used at all SNAP eligible vendors for food items.  

  • Look for SNAP signage at eligible vendor tents.

HIP - Healthy Incentives Program

If you have SNAP benefits, you have HIP!

All Massachusetts SNAP customers are automatically enrolled in HIP (Healthy Incentive Program).  HIP can only be used for fresh fruits and vegetables at approved farmers markets, farm stands and CSAs. This benefit is already on your EBT card, as long as you have funds left in your monthly SNAP account. Here’s how to use it at our market.

  • Farmer Daves is our approved HIP vendor. Visit their stand and shop for fresh fruits and vegetables.  Present your EBT card.  Tell them you want to use your HIP dollars. They will slide your card for your purchase.  Although they need to slide your card, the amount you spend will go right back on to your SNAP/EBT card. It will not take away from your SNAP benefits as long as your HIP benefit has not been used for the month.  It is like getting fresh fruits and vegetables for free.
