Classes and programs are funded and supported by the Massachusetts Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA). In December 2022, MA-DTA designed an entirely new SNAP-Ed website with great resources.
SNAP-Ed also provides an enriching, hands-on, school and community garden program. Through funding by the Massachusetts Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) and the USDA Farm to School Grant, SNAP-Ed is able to provide garden beds, builds, soil, seeds, seedlings and other supplies and structures. These supplies are needed to build and maintain beautiful gardens and provide garden education at schools and community sites in Hampden and Hampshire Counties. This program allows SNAP eligible individuals the opportunity to learn not only where their food comes from but how to grow their own food in an engaging experience.
Programs and activities currently provided through the garden program include garden design and builds, planting events, harvest events, tasting events, garden education single classes, series of classes, tabling events, seed giveaways, seedling giveaways and Harvest of the Month tasting events.
