Local farmers' markets are one of the best ways to eat Connecticut grown food in your home. We have so much local fruit, vegetables, dairy, meat, and much more available in our great state. Many farmers' markets, including at least five in Hartford, now accept the EBT card or SNAP benefits.

Simply bring your EBT card to the table with the sign that says "SNAP/EBT accepted here" at participating Farmers' Markets and Farm Stands. The Market Master will swipe your card for the amount that you want and give you Market Tokens that can be used at all the stands at that market.
