On March 26th, community members, nonprofit representatives, and farmers gathered at the State House for HIP Lobby Day to share the importance of the Healthy Incentives Program (HIP) with legislators. HIP helps low-income customers to afford local vegetables by offering an added benefit when spending their SNAP dollars with local farmers and other verified vendors.

Nalee Yang, a farmer in our program, was asked to share about the need to pass full funding. She shared how critical the program is to her operation, with 50% of her total customers activating their HIP benefits to access the cultural crops she grows. Nalee also urged the Stateto allow for new farm vendors, particularly for small-scale and diversified farmers. Currently, the way Nalee's customers access their HIP benefits through vouchers from the market managers to redeem at Nalee's farmers' market stand. Customer lines would be greatly reduced if Nalee were an independent HIP vendor.

You can find Nalee at the following farmers' markets this summer:
