Double Your SNAP Dollars
Our SNAP program allows customers to use their EBT cards at the market or by phone, and provides a $25 every market visit to use in purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables. SNAP customers may pre-order on Farmnivorous. The market manager will call you to run your EBT card over the phone on our point of sale machine. You can then pick up on person during the market or pickup via curbside.
If you would like donate to support our SNAP program, please send a check made out to the Northside Farmers Market to us at c/o CAIN, 4230 Hamilton Ave, Cincinnati OH 45223. If you'd like to learn how to use your SNAP benefits at the market, scroll down!

About Produce Perks
Ohio Direction Card customers can now receive double value in market tokens when shopping with their EBT card at the market!
How It Works
Produce Perks are incentive tokens given to customers at participating farmers’ markets who use an Ohio Direction Card (Electronic Benefits Transfer or EBT card) to purchase food. A customer wishing to use food assistance benefits can swipe their card at one central terminal, located at the information booth, and ask to withdraw a desired amount. The market provides tokens for the transaction and additional Produce Perks that can be spent on fruits and vegetables. The incentive is a dollar-for-dollar unlimited match up to $25 using an Ohio Direction Card at the market.
As the name suggests, Produce Perks are only good for purchasing fruits and vegetables. All other tokens purchased with the Ohio Direction Card are good to use on eligible items at the market. There is no minimum purchase amount to qualify for the incentives; and Produce Perks tokens can be used at all six participating markets.
