IT'S SUMMER!!! … well almost … which means Farmers Market Season! Our partner in hunger relief, Hunger Solutions Minnesota, shares our belief that everyone should have access to fresh, healthy, local food. During the market season they partner with farmers markets across Minnesota to promote Market Bucks, these 'bucks' help SNAP (EBT) customers stretch their dollars at the farmers market making healthy food more affordable.
There are 4 easy steps to using SNAP-EBT at the farmers market:
- Go to the Information Booth at the farmers market
- Swipe your EBT card for the amount you want to spend. We'll match your purchase dollar-for-dollar, up to $10
- Get $10* in free Market Bucks, and $10* free in Produce Market Bucks
- Shop for up to $30 of SNAP-eligible food and produce at the farmers market
*Up to $10 per market visit. You do not have to spend the full $10 each time.
