GFFMA market tokens · 2026

Your GFFMA tokens move with us.

Use them now. Bring them to the mall this winter.

  1. Market & Event Center

    Use your GFFMA tokens at our market.

  2. This winter · Beginning in November 2026

    Aviation Mall

    Bring your GFFMA tokens with you.

    Saturdays, 9AM–Noon · – · 578 Aviation Road, Queensbury

After October 31, 2026, GFFMA tokens will not be accepted at the Market & Event Center.

The market that continues at the Market & Event Center is a separate market, run separately from the Glens Falls Farmers’ Market Association. It does not accept GFFMA tokens after October 31, 2026.

This winter

No need to rush

GFFMA tokens belong to the Glens Falls Farmers’ Market Association, not to the building. When our market moves to the Aviation Mall in November 2026, your tokens move with it.

Use them with us at the Market & Event Center through October 31, or keep them and bring them to our winter market at the Aviation Mall.

Token questions

Is October 31 an expiration date for my tokens?

No. October 31, 2026 is the last day GFFMA tokens are accepted at the Market & Event Center, because our market moves to the Aviation Mall in November. Bring your tokens to our winter market there.

Can I use GFFMA tokens at the market that continues at the Market & Event Center?

Not after October 31, 2026. That is a separate market, run separately from the Glens Falls Farmers’ Market Association, and it does not accept GFFMA tokens after that date. Through October 31, you can use them with us there.

Who do GFFMA tokens belong to?

The Glens Falls Farmers’ Market Association. They are our market’s tokens, not the building’s, which is why they move with us to the Aviation Mall this winter.

01How It Works

Three Steps,
Then Shop

Using SNAP/EBT at the market works just like cash — it starts at the market table.
1

Visit The Market Table

Stop by the market table near the front entrance of the market building — our friendly staff will help you process your SNAP/EBT card.

They can also answer questions about Fresh Connect and other nutrition programs.
2

Get Your Tokens

Buy wooden tokens in $1 and $5 denominations. Every $1 of SNAP equals $1 in tokens — and every $2 earns you an extra $2 Fresh Connect Check.

Vendors can't give cash change for EBT tokens, so plan purchases accordingly.
3

Shop The Market

Spend tokens like cash with any eligible vendor. Look for signage at each booth, or ask at the market table for the list of participating vendors.

Unused tokens? Keep them — they never expire.
$1 $5

No SNAP/EBT? You can still shop with tokens. Use your credit or debit card at the market table to purchase $5 or $10 tokens. There's a small processing fee — and unlike EBT tokens, vendors can give cash change for credit/debit tokens.
