Affordable, healthy food is now easier for recipients of SNAP (the new food stamp program) to buy, thanks to a coordinated effort that allows more farmers markets to accept benefits through EBT (electronic benefits transfer) cards. SNAP benefits can be used to purchase fruits, vegetables and other healthy food. EBT cards will be accepted at six Minneapolis farmers markets this season. Customers purchase tokens from the market with their EBT cards that can be spent with vendors throughout the market.
Market Bucks coupons will match the first $5 in EBT card purchases. Customers making purchases with and EBT cards can receive an additional $5 in Market Bucks each market day.
