The Hammond Farmers and Artisans Market proudly offers three nutrition assistance programs to expand healthy food access for Tangipahoa families with food produced and grown locally by small, family-owned farms.
SNAP Market Program - The market is an official USDA SNAP authorized retailer. SNAP (also known as Food Stamps, EBT, and Louisiana Purchase) can only be used on SNAP eligible items including: fresh produce, fish, poultry, meat, breads, cereals, non-alcoholic beverages, dairy products, and seeds and plants that produce food.
SNAP MATCH - for every snap dollar you spend, we'll match, dollar for dollar, up to $50 per customer per day through our funding partner Greaux the Good!
Vouchers 4 Veggies - Our market is an authorized retailer for Vouchers 4 Veggies (V4V) facilitated by Louisiana Medicaid. V4V is a fruit and vegetable program for families at high risk for chronic disease. Families receive vouchers through their healthcare provider.
To learn more, READ BELOW, see our information packet, or visit the Market tent, located on the corner of Thomas and NW Railroad.
Great News!
We are so excited to announce that starting Saturday, April 6th 2024, our SNAP Match Program will be increasing from $50 to Unlimited! Thanks to our funding partner Greaux the Good, for every SNAP dollar you spend, we will match you dollar for dollar, with NO LIMIT! That means that if you use EBT, Food Stamps, or SNAP to shop, we will double your food dollars.
