Bumper Crop: An employee benefit that pays local dividends to healthy food producers

ADVERTISER DEMOCRAT • April 14, 2022

The Federation of Maine Farmers’ Markets (MFFM) is looking for business partners in the Oxford Hills to promote healthy eating while supporting community farms. The program is called Bumper Crop. MFFM provides employers with gift certificates to distribute to their workforce as an employee benefit. The gift certificates are to be used at community farmers’ markets to purchase healthy, locally grown foods. Producers redeem the certificates for payment through MFFM, which tracks employee participation and collects the funds from the business.
