EBT and Snap

Using SNAP & EBT at the Glens Falls Farmers’ Market

At the Glens Falls Farmers’ Market, we proudly accept SNAP/EBT benefits to help make fresh, local food accessible to everyone in our community. Here’s how to use your benefits at the market, as well as details on our Fresh Connect program to maximize your purchasing power!

What is SNAP/EBT?

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides electronic benefits to low-income individuals and families, seniors, and disabled persons to help them purchase nutritious food. At the Glens Falls Farmers’ Market, you can use your SNAP benefits just like cash to buy a variety of fresh, local food for your household.

How to Use SNAP/EBT at the Market

Visit the Market Table: Stop by the market table, where our friendly staff will help you process your SNAP/EBT card.

Purchase EBT Tokens: You can buy wooden tokens in $1 and $5 denominations to use like cash with any eligible vendors at the market. Note that vendors cannot give cash change for these tokens, so please plan your purchases accordingly.

What Can You Purchase with SNAP/EBT?

With SNAP/EBT benefits, you can purchase:

  • Breads and cereals
  • Fruits and vegetables
  • Meats, fish, and poultry
  • Dairy products
  • Seeds and plants that produce food for your household

These items help you bring home fresh, healthy ingredients for your meals.

What Can’t Be Purchased with SNAP/EBT?

Certain items are not eligible for SNAP/EBT purchases, including:

  • Alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, liquor) and tobacco products
  • Non-food items like pet food, soap, paper products, and household supplies
  • Vitamins, supplements, and medicines
  • Hot foods or prepared foods meant to be eaten on-site

Additional Benefits: Fresh Connect 

Fresh Connect Checks

For every $2 you spend with SNAP, you’ll receive a $2 Fresh Connect Check (FCC), up to a maximum of $50 per day (25 FCCs). The Fresh Connect program doubles your spending power, helping you get more farm-fresh, homegrown goodness for your family.

  • How it Works: For every $2 in SNAP benefits you exchange for tokens, you receive an additional $2 in Fresh Connect Checks.
  • Limit: Up to $50 per day (25 checks) per SNAP cardholder.

**FCC's expire at the end of the calendar year

General Questions

You can pick up Fresh Connect Checks at the market table, located near the front entrance of the market building. Just stop by and our staff will assist you with any questions about Fresh Connect, EBT, or other nutrition programs.

You can save any unused tokens and bring them back to spend at a future market. There’s no expiration date—use them whenever you shop with us.

Not all vendors accept EBT or nutrition program tokens. Look for signage at each booth, or ask at the market table for a list of participating vendors.

SNAP/EBT benefits can be used for food that you take home and prepare yourself—like produce, meats, cheese, and bread. Ready-to-eat or hot foods meant to be eaten right away are not eligible..

Important Notes

  • No Change Given: Vendors cannot provide cash change for EBT tokens, Double Up Food Bucks, or Fresh Connect Checks. Be sure to round your purchases accordingly.
  • Credit/Debit Card Purchases: Don’t have 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 is a small processing fee, and vendors can give cash change for credit/debit tokens.

Bring compostable food scraps to the market and drop them in a monitored bucket to be composted by one of the vendors.

This service will continue with our winter market at the Aviation Mall.

Buckets need to be monitored to be sure only compostables are collected. Please talk to the monitor about putting yourself on the schedule to be a volunteer!
