Starting this year, the Pendleton County Farmers Market is able to accept SNAP benefits, and is also participating in SNAP Stretch, giving additional dollars to spend on fruits and veggies for every SNAP dollar spent at the market.
Spending EBT (or P-EBT) at the market is super easy. Tell the person working the machine how many dollars you want to redeem from your card and then get "coupon" dollars to spend on anything that is a qualifying EBT purchase, plus tokens to spend on fruits and vegetables.
