SNAP/EBT enables qualifying individuals and families to use their EBT card to buy eligible fresh and local products at the farmers market! This program gives families better access to fresh foods, supports family farms and local producers, and directs tax dollars into the local economy.

How it works

1. Go to the SNAP Booth at the north end of the Farmer’s Market Pavilion.

2. Choose how much you would like to spend that day on food purchases. The Fort Scott Farmers Market runs the EBT machine. We will swipe your EBT card for the amount tokens you want to spend on SNAP-eligible items.

3. Shop for fresh produce.
