SNAP Plus, Produce Perks and EBT Programs

The SNAP Plus/Produce Perks program at Findlay Market helps families afford more fresh fruits and vegetables and other healthy food typically found in the Findlay Farmers Market.

Since 2007, low-income shoppers have been able to exchange their EBT dollars for one-dollar brass or yellow plastic tokens that they can spend like cash in our farmers market. Produce Perks enhances this service by providing shoppers a match to their spending. The incentive is a dollar-for-dollar match. Each dollar in SNAP tokens exchanged is matched with a dollar in free Produce Perks fruit and vegetable tokens (up to $25 a day). This effectively doubles EBT shoppers purchasing power of healthy fresh food at the market.
