How SNAP works at farmers markets

Many farmers markets accept SNAP benefits, but they do it a little differently than a grocery store. At most participating markets you:

  1. Go to the market information booth or tent before you shop.
  2. Swipe your EBT card and tell the staff how much of your balance you want to spend.
  3. Receive tokens, paper bucks, or a receipt for that amount, which you spend with vendors.
  4. Shop SNAP-eligible foods: fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, bread, honey, eggs, and seeds or plants that grow food.

SNAP cannot be used for hot prepared foods or anything eaten on site. If a program like Double Up Food Bucks is offered, your SNAP spending on produce is matched, typically dollar for dollar up to a daily or monthly cap, so you take home more food for the same benefit amount. Details vary by state and market, so check the market's own page or call ahead.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use SNAP or EBT at any farmers market?

No. Only participating markets accept EBT. A market must be authorized to accept SNAP and usually processes EBT at a central booth with tokens. Use the directory above, look for "SNAP accepted here" signs, or ask market staff.

What can I buy with SNAP at a farmers market?

The same eligible foods as a grocery store: fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, eggs, bread and baked goods, honey, and seeds or plants that produce food. Hot prepared food meant to be eaten right away is not eligible.

What is Double Up Food Bucks?

It is a produce-matching incentive available in many states. When you spend SNAP dollars at a participating market, you get a dollar-for-dollar match for fresh fruits and vegetables, usually up to a daily or monthly limit. Michigan and Colorado both run versions of the program at many of the markets listed here.

Do I need anything besides my EBT card?

Just your EBT card and PIN. Some markets also accept WIC or Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program coupons separately. Bringing a reusable bag is a good idea, since you may buy more produce than expected.

How do I know a market still accepts SNAP before I visit?

Confirm directly: check the market's official website or social page, call or email the market manager, or look for current "SNAP accepted" signage.

A note about sponsors

This page may display sponsored listings and messages from SNAP enrollment assistance sponsors. Sponsored content does not affect which markets appear in the directory or how they are ranked. Directory listings are included only when a public source indicates the market accepts SNAP/EBT, never because of a sponsorship. Sponsors do not see or receive your personal information from this page.
