SNAP/WIC/EBT
Just announced-- we've received funding,with our fiscal partner PA Friends of Ag Foundation, to provide promo items (no cost to you) for farms that accept EBT for SNAP and WIC. Find out what farm products SNAP and WIC customers can buy from you. There are 2 grant funded ways to get free EBT equipment + 1 year fees. Cancel when the year is over if it isn't profitable for you. EJ Market Gardens and Redrange Farms both take SNAP/WIC now, so check with them to find out if it might be a fit for your farm. You must first get approval from USDA here. Note that the process differs for individual farms vs. retail outlets/farmers markets. Contact us to learn more.
