Maine Farmer
“As a nutrition educator I have had the opportunity to watch children cheer for vegetables they have never had the opportunity to try before, older adults try yoghurt for the first time and fall in love with parfaits, and adults with disabilities learn how to buy fruits and vegetables while on SNAP. SNAP-Ed is important to me because I get to make an impact on peoples everyday lives and spread knowledge, joy, and a feeling of confidence in creating and eating healthy meals. As a farmer I also get to see the impact of SNAP-Ed as we promote the amazing foods that are grown right here, in Maine.”
