How to Stretch Your Food Budget While Shopping at the Farmers Markets

April 23, 2022 @ 10:00 am

South Whidbey Tilth Classroom, Langley     —
Learn more about supplemental nutrition and matching programs that help benefit dollars go further at the farmers markets. Both South Whidbey Tilth and the Bayview Farmers Market welcome Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) customers, who can match their card purchases each visit when they run their
card at the market’s EBT machine. The amount will be doubled up to $40 with purple Market Match currency. The matching currency is only for fresh fruits, vegetables, garden seeds and plants and nuts,
while the tokens, provided when SNAP cards are run, can also be used for meat, fish, dairy and baked goods. The Famers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) for Seniors or Women, Infants and Children (WIC) provides eligible customers with vouchers that may be redeemed with
farmers who have registered to participate at any Farmers Market. A sign is posted at the registered farmer’s booth. Learn what foods can be purchased, when and where. No fee. For more information contact
Prescott, prscot@whidbey.net or 360-682-8642. The South Whidbey Tilth Classroom is located at 2812 Thompson Rd.
