Healthy Incentives Program

​

The Healthy Incentives Program (HIP) is a statewide initiative that matches each SNAP dollar spent on targeted fruits and vegetables at participating farmers' market farms. An equal amount of money, up to a monthly limit, is instantly credited back to a shopper's SNAP account at the time of purchase. For example, if you spend $20 at a HIP farm, your SNAP account will instantly be credited $20. Shoppers can use this extra benefit right away or save it for another shopping trip later.

Farm to Family Program

​

In addition to HIP, SNAP and Weymouth Food Pantry shoppers can DOUBLE their dollars at the Weymouth Farmers Market up to an additional $20 per market through Weymouth's Farm to Family (Token) Program. Shoppers participate in the program by swiping a credit, debit, or EBT card in exchange for wooden tokens that act like currency at the market. SNAP and Food Pantry shoppers receive double their dollars back in wooden tokens, up to the $20 limit. Tokens never expire, so shoppers can keep what they don't use for more shopping later. [*]

​

Weymouth's Farm to Family Program is a cooperative project between the Town of Weymouth and Weymouth Food Pantry.

​

[*] SNAP and Food Pantry tokens may be used only for the purchase of SNAP-eligible food at the Weymouth Farmers Market. Tokens are not redeemable for cash or change. A minimum $2.50 transaction amount applies.
