At Seacoast Eat Local, we believe everyone should have access to fresh, local food. That’s why we are excited to offer an opportunity for SNAP-purchased CSA shares for the 2026 summer market season with support from Granite State Market Match . This opportunity benefits both SNAP customers and farmers that participate at our Portsmouth and Exeter farmers’ markets.

Through this program, SNAP customers will receive a 1-to-1 match of up to $250 toward the purchase of a fruit and vegetable CSA share. This opportunity is available through Seacoast Eat Local and is limited to one matched CSA per customer.

In 2026, Seacoast Eat Local proudly celebrates 20 years of strengthening connections between local farmers, food producers, and the Seacoast community. What began as a grassroots effort to support local food has grown into a vibrant network of growers, makers, and neighbors working together to build a more resilient and connected food system.

This milestone celebration is more than an anniversary, it’s an opportunity to gather in gratitude for the people, partnerships, and community spirit that have shaped the past 20 years, while looking ahead to the next 20.

Please save the date and join us at Saltonstall Farm on Tuesday, September 22 as we celebrate growing together as a community. Whether you’ve supported Seacoast Eat Local for years or are newly connected to our mission, we hope you’ll celebrate 20 years of growing together with us.
