Community Partners and Harvest Heroes
Many local businesses and organizations sponsor the Salem NH Farmers Market. These Harvest Heroes play a vital role in sustaining our mission year round. Their generosity supports everything from food access programs to operations to the reusable shopping bags offered free of charge to our shoppers. Their support helps us to bring neighbors together and strengthens our local food system. We extend our heartfelt thanks for their continued commitment — it truly takes a community to make the Market thrive.
We are a proud member of the Southern NH Chamber of Commerce and are grateful to their partnership in actively promoting and supporting the regional business community.
Our Harvest Heroes
Granite State Market Match
Through the New Hampshire Food Bank, Granite State Market Match program bolsters food budgets by helping SNAP households in NH increase buying power by doubling SNAP swipes for use on fresh produce.
Vouchers for Veterans
Vouchers for Veterans (VFV)showsrecognition and gratitude to veterans and active-duty personnel living in New Hampshire and Maine by providing them with vouchers to purchase locally grown and prepared food directly from farmers and growers at local farmers markets. Registering at the Market is easy. When VFV is on site, please bring proof of service and residence. You’ll then receive $20 in vouchers to spend at the Market.
Chasers, Inc.
SNHFM benefits from the generous and continued support of Chasers, Inc., one of our longest-standing community partners. Their commitment goes far beyond a financial contribution — it reflects a shared belief in what a farmers market can mean for a town: connection, nourishment and collective well-being. Through the State’s charitable gaming program, Chasers donates a portion of their profits to the Market, which helps strengthen our capacity to serve families; support local agriculture; and expand access to fresh, healthy food for all. Their partnership is a powerful example of how local businesses and community organizations can come together to build a thriving, connected and compassionate community.
Reusable Shopping Bag Sponsors
As proud participants in our Harvest Heroes program, our reusable bag sponsors play an essential role in strengthening the Salem NH Farmers Market and supporting our mission year-round. Their partnership helps us provide high-quality, eco-friendly shopping bags to market visitors — a practical resource that reduces waste, encourages sustainable habits and keeps our community connected with local food. We are grateful to these partners:
