We just became authorized to accept SNAP at our farmers market and will be able to accept SNAP for CSA payments. We’re very excited to be able to do this! It does require us to make some slight adjustments to how we usually accept payment because SNAP customers cannot use their EBT cards for online payments. SNAP also cannot be used to pre-buy food.

Here’s how we’ll make this work:

We’ll ask SNAP customers for a 2-week deposit ($44) in cash or check that we will refund at the end of the CSA season.
Customers will pick up their boxes each week as usual.
At the end of each month, we will be at pick up locations in person to swipe your EBT card for that month’s shares.

You will only be able to purchase vegetable shares with SNAP, but you can still purchase add ons with a credit card. The sites we’re currently planning on for SNAP payments are Rooster + Hen store on Wednesdays and Red Emma’s Cafe on Thursdays. If you’re interested in paying with SNAP at another site, email us we’ll try to figure it out.

We will hold spaces for folks who want to pay with SNAP, so if you’re interested, you can add your information to this list. We will follow up with you so that we can get you signed up.
