Food Access Information

Farmers markets throughout Washington participate in food access programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), WIC & Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP), and special fruit and vegetable incentives ("SNAP Market Match"). These programs help everyone have access to fresh, healthy, local food and foster healthy communities and individuals by enabling low-income shoppers to purchase more fresh produce from local farmers.

How Food Access Programs Work at Farmers Markets

SNAP - The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) is the nation's largest nutritional assistance program. Many farmers markets across the state accept SNAP. Shoppers visit the market information booth and ask to swipe their EBT card. The market then provides tokens for the amount swiped on the card. The shopper then spends the tokens with market vendors on SNAP eligible items. Eligible items are the same as at the grocery store and include fruits, vegetables, baked goods, seeds, meat, jams, jellies, bread, fish, vegetable starts, syrup and honey, dairy, and poultry.

SNAP Market Match

Families and individuals can stretch their SNAP dollars at farmers markets across Washington State by getting "SNAP Market Match." Simply go to a participating market's information booth and tell them you'd like SNAP Market Match. Swipe your EBT card for the amount you want to spend. Shoppers receive "SNAP Market Match" dollars. Around the state, matches vary and typically are $2 for using $2 of SNAP; getting $2 for using $5 of SNAP, and a $1 for $1 match. You can buy fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, mushrooms, fresh herbs, seeds, and plants that produce food (for example, tomato seeds or tomato plants). Not all programs are offered year round, but operate when funds are available to do so.
