Farmers markets that accept SNAP / EBT

Using SNAP at a farmers market

Can you use SNAP or EBT at a farmers market?

Yes. Farmers markets that are authorised SNAP retailers can accept EBT. Most run a central token or scrip system: you swipe your EBT card once at the market's information booth, and get tokens to spend with any participating vendor. Some markets instead have individual vendors with their own card terminals.

Do farmers markets double SNAP dollars?

Many do, through nutrition-incentive programs with names like Double Up Food Bucks, Market Bucks or Market Match. These typically match SNAP spending up to a daily cap and restrict the matched dollars to fresh fruit and vegetables. Availability varies by state and by market, so ask at the information booth.

How do I find a farmers market near me that takes EBT?

Pick your state below, or use the near-me page to sort every listed market by distance and filter to SNAP/EBT only. Listings marked SNAP/EBT record acceptance in their USDA directory entry.

What if a market isn't marked as accepting EBT?

Treat it as unknown rather than as a no. The USDA directory is self-reported and many markets have not updated their entry in years. Calling the market or checking its social page is the reliable way to confirm.

This page explains how markets generally handle EBT and lists what markets have reported to the USDA. It is not benefits advice — for questions about your own SNAP case, contact your state SNAP agency.
