Creating a successful Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly food stamps) redemption program at your farmers market is more than acquiring the terminals, tokens and signage. It’s about creating a strong infrastructure for the program; developing a sustainable funding strategy; understanding and meeting the needs of a diverse customer base; and creating community partnerships to extend the reach of the program through marketing, promotions and incentives.
This handbook addresses the steps needed to set up SNAP and provides a comprehensive description of the elements necessary to make it successful. This handbook includes case studies of farmers markets from across the US—rural and urban, big and small, new and established—that successfully operate SNAP projects, and provides additional resources, such as recordkeeping templates, a sample customer survey, and links to organizational resources and other SNAP/EBT guides, to help you launch a successful SNAP project at your farmers market.
