Greens4Greens is a food benefit incentive program, started in 2016, that creates greater food access for shoppers at the Beacon Farmers’ Market and the Newburgh Farmers’ Market. Eligible state funded food benefits are matched dollar for dollar through Greens4Greens, making the farmer's market more accessible to a wider base of consumers. The program has been completely community funded through contributions made by local businesses as well as the annual 'Soup4Greens' event.

Community funding has allowed the program to run throughout the winter market season in Beacon and Newburgh, providing $4 Greens4Greens checks to those who have demonstrated need all year long. Greens4Greens also benefits local farmers, enabling them to increase their sales to a more diverse community.
