Hilltown Mobile Market Farm Shares Now Available!
Hilltown Mobile Market: Fresh & Local!
We are back for our third season in 2021! Visit our website to sign up for farm shares, view our market schedule and find out more about our amazing farm producers!
The Hilltown Mobile Market is a different kind of grocery store. We carry produce grown by the farmers you know in the Hilltown places you love. We gather fresh and affordable Hilltown-grown produce from our neighbor farms each week for our mobile market. Everyone can shop for produce from our colorful veggie van at one of our four weekly stops in Blandford, Cummington, Huntington and Worthington. Purchases with SNAP, HIP, WIC and Senior FNMP Coupons are welcomed!
Our popular Hilltown Community Farm Share is a convenient and affordable way to enjoy fresh food grown on neighbor farms. Each share contains 5 items of produce, perfect for senior and small households. You get to choose the items in your share each week. It's easy, fun, and delicious!
The full value of a share is $180 worth of fresh vegetables - or approximately $15 per week. We understand this amount may not fit everyone’s budget. Thanks to grant funding and donations, we are able to offer additional reduced payment options.
Low-Income Share: $60 ($5 per week)
Moderate-Income Share: $120 ($10 per week)
Fair Share: $180 ($15 per week)
Helping Hand Share: $240 ($20 per week)
Please choose the option that best reflects your household’s ability to pay. For more guidance, check out our sliding scale guidelines. If you qualify for SNAP (food stamps) the cost will be fully reimbursed by the HIP program! If you are able to afford a little more, our Helping Hand Share covers the cost of your share plus a Low-Income Share for another family in town.
The share pickups are weekly for 12 weeks starting July 22-October 8. You can pick up your share at any of our market locations: Blandford, Cummington, Huntington or Worthington. Shares are limited so be sure to sign up early!
Our market opens on July 22, 2021 and end on October 8, 2021. Last year, we distributed over 80 farm shares, more than half of which went to low-income families. The “veggie van” moved over $20,000 of locally grown produce from 9 participating Hilltown farms. And 39% of customers reported an increase in their weekly fresh food consumption.
