Maine Federation of Farmers Markets

Market Support & Promotion - MFFM provides services to markets, and on behalf of markets, that help to boost the success and food access goals of farmers' markets in their communities. This includes the Bumper Crop program, a workplace wellness program that helps connect employers and their employees to farmers' markets. This led to over $110,000 in Bumper Crop voucher redemption at farmers' markets across the state. MFFM also provides fiscal agency support to markets, hosting their central payment terminals to accept SNAP and credit cards, and then reimbursing vendors directly. These services ease the burden on market organizers, who are often volunteers, and boost our mission.
