 First, you want to locate a welcome booth at the market. The booth often has a sign that says “EBT/Credit/Debit Accepted Here.” The manager will swipe your EBT card for the amount you want to spend. Enter your PIN. You will receive wooden tokens or some other type of scrip (i.e. coupon) to purchase eligible items. Eligible vendors will display signs indicating they accept EBT in their booths.

 

Before shopping, determine an amount to spend at the market based on your budget. Window Shop! This will give you an idea of the goods you want to purchase and their respective vendors’ prices.

 

The following items can be purchased with an EBT card: fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, honey, maple products, jams, jellies, pickles, sauces, baked goods, seeds and plants that produce food.

 

The following items cannot be purchased with an EBT card: food items intended for immediate consumption at the market (such as coffee or prepared hot foods); non-food items such as crafts, clothes, or flowers; Produce that is intended for ornamental purposes only such as gourds for carving pumpkins.
