Within Reach
 
 
 
 
 
 
Many Farmers' Markets throughout Connecticut now can accept EBT/SNAP (Formerly known as Food Stamps). This means you will once again be able to buy locally grown fruits and vegetables that arrive more quickly and fresher than those transported long distances from other states and countries. Simply bring your EBT card to the table with the sign that says "SNAP/EBT accepted here" at participating Farmers' Markets. The Market Master will swipe your card for the amount that you want and give you Market Tokens that can be used at all the stands at that market.
