Market Bucks

Many farmers markets accept SNAP-EBT. To get started, visit the Information Booth at the farmers market and swipe your EBT card for the amount you want to spend . You will receive tokens/coupons to spend with eligible vendors at the farmers market.

Market Bucks match SNAP-EBT spending dollar-for-dollar (up to $10) at participating farmers markets. You can get up to $10 in Market Bucks and $10 in Produce Market Bucks each visit to spend on SNAP-eligible foods. That means you can triple your SNAP-EBT purchases at participating farmers markets. Spend $10 on your EBT card, get $20 free!

Participating markets are noted on our Farmers Markets of Minneapolis map and downloadable list.
