Thanks to grant funding from the Town of Cheverly and Maryland Market Money, the Cheverly Farmers Market is proud to accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and provide matching funds for all programs so customers can purchase fresh produce and locally made products at our market.

 

To use SNAP benefits, customers can bring their electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card (commonly known as the Independence Card in Maryland) to our information table. We will charge the card for any amount requested in exchange for tokens that can be spent with eligible vendors. 

​

Maryland Market Money is a statewide food access program operating at participating farmers markets, farm stands, and CSAs that accept the following federal nutrition benefits as payment:

​

Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP)

​

eWIC-FVB (Women, Infant, and Children Fruit & Vegetable Benefit)

​

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/EBT formerly known as Food Stamps)

​

Shoppers who spend these benefits at participating farmers markets can receive additional Maryland Market Money in the form of dollar-value tokens. These tokens can be spent on any SNAP-eligible foods at any participating farmers market, farm stand, or CSA in Maryland, helping to increase customers’ food budgets for purchasing fresh, healthy, local foods while also directly supporting local growers and producers.
