POLAND — The Poland Farmers Market is back and has moved to the student parking lot at Poland Regional High School every Friday from 2 to 6 p.m. through September.

Vendors for the season include Pearl’s Fresh Produce, Verrill’s Vegetable Stand, Mainely Soap, Stevens Family Farm with Beef, Chicken, Turkey and Pork, Swallowtail Nursery with potted plants, Wonderland Farm and Bakery home baked goods and bread made with Maine grown grains plus a variety of day vendors.

The Farmers Market is now able to accept SNAP (food stamp) benefits along with credit cards. And, in partnership with the St. Mary’s Nutrition Center and the Lewiston Farmers Market, the Poland market will also offer a Fresh Food Champion program. The program allows SNAP and WIC recipients to receive matching dollars to purchase more fruits and vegetables each time they use their SNAP or WIC at the market.

Customers will get $1 in market dollars for every $2 spent with SNAP or WIC up to $10 a day. Market dollars are not cash but can be used like cash to buy more fresh fruits and vegetables the day a customer receives them or later in the season.

Funding is made possible from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in partnership with MaineHealth and Access Health,a project of Mid Coast Hospital.
