Our farmers' market accepts SNAP benefits .... AND, because of a cooperation with Virginia Fresh Match, we will be able to double all SNAP dollars through the 2019 summer season (or until all funds are expended).
HOW SNAP WORKS:
With their EBT card, SNAP clients can buy specially printed “wooden nickel” tokens at the market that are worth $1 each and good only with Amherst market vendors.
  • The tokens can be exchanged for qualifying fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, herbs, breads and other baked goods, honey, processed foods such as jams, pickles and dressings, plus seeds and plants to grow consumable food for the household.
  • The tokens cannot buy any hot or ready to eat food items, pet foods or non-foods items such as flowers, soaps/lotions, art or crafts.
  • The Match tokens can only be used for fresh produce.
  • No change can be given for the $1 token.
