Did you know? The Fredericksburg, VA Farmers Market will double SNAP / EBT benefits, providing up to $30 in free fruits and vegetables.
The benefits are through the Virginia Match Program, a group of farmers markets and community food sources across the state. It not only makes fresh fruits and vegetables more affordable, but supports local farmers and keeps dollars in your community.
To redeem your benefits for farmers market tokens:
1. Visit the Market Token Tent
2. Swipe your SNAP / EBT card and enter your PIN
3. Receive double your purchase in tokens ($10 gets $20)
4. Use the tokens to buy eligible foods at the market
It’s important to note that vendors cannot give change, so it’s encouraged to make purchases in whole dollars.
Unused tokens don’t expire and can be used on future visits.
The Fredericksburg Farmers Market opens every Saturday from 7:00 AM – 1:00 PM in Hurkamp Park through the fall.
