All of us at SNAP4CT are excited about the 2018 Farmers Market Season in Connecticut! Shopping at farmers markets is a great way to eat well. Plus, some markets accept and even double or triple SNAP / EBT benefits. That means healthy, fresh fruits and vegetables for less money!
Saving money AND eating healthy are two of our favorite things. Being outside in the fresh air of the markets is also a big plus. You can even meet neighbors making it a fun way to socialize. Seriously, if you haven’t been to your area farmers market you are missing out.
We'll help you get started!
