Multiply your 3SquaresVT/SNAP dollars with Crop Cash at your local farmers market!
When you spend 3SquaresVT/SNAP benefits at a participating farmers market, you'll receive extra money to spend on local fruits, vegetables, herbs, and culinary seeds and plant starts. Markets will match up to $20 of your SNAP benefits per day.
For winter markets (November 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025), your SNAP dollar will be matched with $2 of Crop Cash! So, if you were to spend $20 of SNAP benefits at the market, you can get an extra $40 of Crop Cash (for fruits/vegetables)!
Anyone who receives 3SquaresVT/SNAP benefits is automatically eligible to get Crop Cash at a farmers market—there is no additional application for this program. Just stop by the market manager's tent to swipe your EBT card. If you receive your benefits as EBT Cash or Direct Deposit, you can still receive Crop Cash coupons. Please see these instructions for the steps to access Crop Cash, which are new as of May 1, 2025.
About 3SquaresVT:
3SquaresVT, also known as SNAP/EBT (formerly known as food stamps) helps limited-income individuals and families buy the food they need. Benefits are generally provided on a card that functions like a debit card, and are accepted at most grocery stores and many farmer’s markets. Here is a list of food items that SNAP/EBT can buy. For more information and assistance applying for 3SquaresVT benefits, visit the Vermont Foodbank website.
