It’s October, which means fall in New England! It’s time for pumpkins, squash, apples and so much more at Farmers Markets & local Farm Stands!
It’s also a great time to use your new monthly HIP benefits to enjoy the fall bounty!
Go to buylocalfood.org/hip-map and look for HIP vendors here in the Valley where you can use your HIP benefits to get $40 – $80 in free fruits and vegetables!!! SNAP community members, clients, friends and family have an extra $40-$80 on their EBT card at the beginning of each month to take advantage of the season’s fresh and local fruits and vegetables!
