Food Access Programs

The Puyallup Farmers’ Market is committed to providing equal access to fresh produce and local products. The programs available at the marketplace include those listed below. An overview of eligible foods for each of these food access programs can be found here.

SNAP/EBT and SNAP Market Match

Visit the Market Information booth inside the Pavilion where an employee will assist you in processing a transaction to receive Market EBT tokens based on the amount of EBT funds you wish to spend at the Market. You will receive both the EBT tokens AND the same amount in FREE SNAP Market Match vouchers up to $25 per day.

EBT tokens can be used to purchase:

  • Fruits and vegetables
  • Meat, poultry, and fish
  • Dairy products
  • Breads and cereals
  • Other foods such as snack foods and non-alcoholic beverages
  • Seeds and plants, which produce food for the household to eat

SNAP Market Match vouchers can be used to purchase:

  • Fresh vegetables
  • Fresh fruits
  • Mushrooms
  • Fresh herbs
  • Seeds and plants intended for cultivation and consumption (e.g., tomato seeds or tomato plants)

    "We Care"

    We’re grateful to have received a MultiCare Community Partnership Fund grant that enables us to provide SNAP/EBT recipients additional funds to purchase healthy food items. Once you have received your SNAP/EBT tokens and your SNAP Market Match vouchers, you will also receive these additional funds via “WE CARE” vouchers. These vouchers can be used to purchase the same items that can be purchased with the SNAP Market Match vouchers. There is no change given when these vouchers are used so you must utilize the entire value of the voucher when making a purchase. Please note that daily funds available may vary and funds are limited.
