More than 250 NY farmers' markets this season will accept the EBT card to redeem food stamp benefits as payment for fresh, locally grown food items. The NY Farmers Market EBT/Food Stamp/SNAP program is made possible through a partnership between the New York Farmers' Market Federation, the NYS Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance and the NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets.
To help increase awareness of this opportunity, the snaptomarket website provides many resources and tools:
• Details and videos about how the program works.
• Fresh Tips newsletters.
• Brochures and posters you can download to help promote the program.
• A market locator to find Farmers' Markets in your community that accept EBT/food stamp benefits.
