How to Use Your EBT at the Farmers’ Market

By MoreFood

Many farmers’ markets now accept SNAP/FNS Benefits. Using your EBT card to purchase fresh foods at the farmers’ market is not only easy, but it’s a great way to save money and support your community.

Below is a short video on how to use your EBT card to purchase fresh, local foods at a participating farmers’ market.

Not sure if your market accepts SNAP??? There are many ways to locate an eligible farmers’ market near you.

  1. Contact us at More In My Basket At the Market and let us look! We can be reached by phone at (919) 513-0094, or by email at skklein@ncsu.edu.
  2. NC Farm Fresh has a catalogue of the hundreds of farmers’ markets across North Carolina. The directory may mention if the market accepts EBT, but because this changes often, always double check by visiting the farmers’ market website or social media page.

  3. Contact your local NC Extension County Centers to learn what markets and farm stands in your county accept EBT. To find your County’s contact information visit: https://www.ces.ncsu.edu/local-county-center/
