Title: Accepting Food Stamp Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) Cards at Farmers' Markets and Farm Stands: A Primer for Farmers and Market Managers
Summary: Farmers who sell directly to the public are eligible to accept EBT cards.
The challenge for farmers’ markets and farm stands, some of which
accepted paper food stamps in the past, is the lack of infrastructure to
accept the EBT card, which requires a landline telephone and electricity,
or a wireless terminal. Today there are several options for farmers and
markets, depending on the resources available to them. This manual
describes the various options and how farmers or market managers can
offer this service to EBT-card customers.
