Does the market accept SNAP Benefits?
Yes! The market can swipe EBT food stamps and EBT cash cards in exchange for market tokens at both the Saturday and Downtown markets. There is no fee for this service. The market also offers a matching program for EBT food stamps customers. For each food stamps dollar, the market will provide an additional $1 coupon good for fruits and vegetables. $10 limit per market.

Are the same vendors at every Saturday market?
