Get SNAP Authorized:

Markets, CSAs, Farmers

Farmers' markets, CSAs, and direct marketing farmers can be authorized to accept SNAP customers and the accompanying Market Bucks (the $10 matching incentive funded by Minnesota). There's no cost to get authorized, and the card reader machine and transactions are provided free by the state of Minnesota.

Join us Tuesday, March 17, 1-3pm to walk through the application process and share ideas on how our food farming communities can best promote this to our SNAP neighbors.

MFMA provides services, programs, and leadership that support and promote farmers' markets across Minnesota and our Tribal Nations.

We envision a community of vibrant, profitable, and professionally managed Minnesota farmers’ markets that:

Cultivates, nourishes, and inspires a vibrant local foods community;
Provides accessibility to all to local farm fresh foods;
Allows local food producers to thrive and grow;
Ensures these opportunities are available to everyone regardless of ethnicity, age, gender identity, or economic standing.
