The Cooperage Project and Wayne County partners have developed an incentive program for community members to shop at our local farmers’ markets. NEAR (Nutrition Education Awareness Rewards) Cash is a nutrition rewards program to support our local food system’s consumers and producers.

• Attend cooking classes, farm tours, and more hosted by our partners to receive NEAR Cash vouchers.
• SNAP/EBT card holders can convert $10 into NEAR Cash vouchers, and get a $10 match! Contact Laurel Burns (call 570-253-2020 ext 3 or email Laurel) to schedule an appointment or visit our Mobile Farm Market locations.
• NEAR Cash is not redeemable for actual cash, and no change may be given for NEAR Cash purchases.
