Seacoast Mobile Market: Goodwin Library
2019-06-17 16:30 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Goodwin Library, 422 Main St, Farmington, NH, 03835, United States
SAMM, the Seacoast Area Mobile Market, is the first mobile market program of its kind in New Hampshire, and is the newest program in a larger Mobile Market consortium that spans New England and is generously funded by the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation’s Healthy Food Fund.
The goal of SAMM is to provide access to local foods in communities within the service region that may lack farmers’ markets of their own, have high concentrations of low-income or at-risk residents, are designated as being at higher risk for food insecurity, or have a reportedly high number of residents with lack of access to consistent means of transportation. In addition to these community stops, SAMM will also service a small number of employers in the region as an employee benefit.
Aligning with Seacoast Eat Local’s goal to provide greater access to local foods in all of their Seacoast communities, SAMM is also aimed at spreading and increasing the number of sustainable agricultural businesses in these areas. By sourcing product as locally to market stops as possible, they hope to incentivize and support small scale agricultural businesses in their growth.

This training will teach you how to effectively advocate for issues you care about in the Granite State. You’ll learn about the unique NH legislature, how a bill becomes a law, best practices for engaging with legislators, practical advocacy and communication skills, and more. The main objective is for attendees to understand the inherent opportunity they have to influence the future of our state, and to leave feeling empowered and confident in their ability to take direct action on issues they care about. After this training, you’ll be better equipped to make a difference in the New Hampshire state government.
This training is part of the Food Alliance’s effort to help our network become more active on food/agriculture-related policy, and fits into our other policy initiatives. We are offering these trainings in other regions of the state, too! Learn more about what else we are working on here!
