How many farmers markets in Connecticut take EBT?

12 Connecticut farmers markets record SNAP/EBT acceptance out of 137 listed in total — about 9%.

How does EBT work at a Connecticut farmers market?

Most markets run a central token system: swipe your EBT card once at the information booth for tokens that any participating vendor accepts. Some markets instead have individual vendors running their own terminals. Either way, EBT covers food items — not crafts, hot prepared food or plants that don't produce food.

Is my SNAP benefit doubled at Connecticut markets?

Some Connecticut markets take part in nutrition-incentive schemes that match SNAP spending on fruit and vegetables, often up to a daily cap. Participation is market-by-market and season-by-season, so check at the market's information booth.
