Accept SNAP at Your Farmstand or Farmers' Market

We will offering a drop-in information session at our conference where you can get your farm, farm stand or farmers market authorized for SNAP (formerly food stamps) and receive your USDA FNS number the very same day! USDA staff will be on site to walk you through the process and assist with your application. Find out about wireless equipment options to process SNAP payments (as well as credit/debit) and learn about other resources available. More details on our conference webpage.
