Greens4Greens is a food benefit incentive program, started in 2016, that creates greater food access for shoppers at the Beacon Farmers’ Market, the Newburgh Farmers’ Market, and the Common Greens Mobile Market. Eligible state funded food benefits are matched dollar for dollar through Greens4Greens, making the farmers’ market more accessible to a wider base of consumers. The program has been completely community funded through contributions made by local businesses as well as the annual 'Soup4Greens' event. Our 2024 Soup4Greens event raised over $8000 thanks to the generous soup and pottery donations.

SNAP provides nutrition benefits to supplement the food budget of families so they can purchase healthy food.

To redeem SNAP benefts at the market, stop by the market manager’s tent during market hours. The manager will process your SNAP EBT card for whatever amount you choose. The market manager will provide $1 tokens for the customers chosen amount which they can use to purchase SNAP eligible items.

For every $2 of SNAP processed, customers will receive a $2 Fresh Connect coupon (up to $50) to add to the money they can spend at the market.

SNAP Benefits Can Be Used To Purchase: all fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, cheese and all dairy products, eggs, baked goods, processed foods, maple syrup/honey/cider/juices, coffee that is whole bean or ground (not fresh brewed), herbs, and seeds and plants that produce food (like tomato plants)
