Using SNAP at Farmers Markets
Swipe your EBT Card with the market manager at the market information booth. Use $12 of your SNAP Benefits, receive EBT tokens to spend with market vendors, plus bonus Kentucky Double Dollars Tokens up to $12. Spend your tokens on Kentucky-grown fruit, vegetables, and edible plant starts with market vendors. At markets participating in KDD Meat, Eggs, & Dairy, you will receive up to $8 in extra tokens eligible for meat, eggs, and dairy when you spend over $12 of your EBT funds. (All tokens are matched in $2 increments.)
Using WIC or Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Program Incentives at Farmers Markets
Our system has changed from past years due to changes with the Farmers Market Nutrition Program at the state level. This year, you will bring your nutrition incentive card and/or electronic app for either program to the market manager booth. The market manager will record your name and part of your card number for record keeping purposes. You will receive a one time disbursement of vouchers totaling $16. This will be the only disbursement of the season to ensure equal access to other participants.

Good Foods Co-op in Lexington offers Kentucky Double Dollars to SNAP recipients year-round. Swipe your EBT card for $10 or more and get a paper voucher for $10 with purchase. Voucher is eligible for use on any Kentucky-grown produce within 90 days.
