A statewide farmers market program that began in 2019 with one employer and a handful of Bangor-area markets has exploded to 47 employers and nearly 50 markets. Bumper Crop, a Maine Federation of Farmers’ Markets program, allows employers to acquire gift certificates for their employees to spend on fresh local foods at farmers markets around the state. The program is a way to support farmers and vendors while giving employees a chance to invest in their health.
