How SNAP works at a farmers market

SNAP benefits are paid with an EBT card. Markets that accept them usually work one of two ways: a single card terminal at an information booth, where you swipe for tokens or scrip to spend with any participating vendor, or individual vendors taking the card at their own stalls. SNAP covers food to take home and eat (fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, bread, and seeds and plants that produce food) but not hot prepared meals, alcohol or non-food goods. Many states also run programs that match SNAP spending on fruit and vegetables at participating markets; the amounts and rules are set locally, so ask at the market’s information booth what is available there.
