WAYS TO PAY

New Roots Community Farm is proud to make fresh, healthy food accessible to everyone by accepting a variety of food assistance programs at our Farm Market. Shoppers can use SNAP/EBT, WIC, Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers, and other benefits to purchase a wide range of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and farm products.

By participating in these programs, we ensure that all members of our community—regardless of income—can enjoy nourishing, high-quality food while supporting local farmers. Our goal is to create an inclusive market where good food is available to all and every dollar spent helps strengthen the local food system.
