Food Access Programs at the Cooperstown Farmers’ Market

We want everyone to have access to healthy, local food at the Market. At every Market, we welcome shoppers using:

• EBT and SNAP Match,

• FMNP coupons, and

• Cooperstown Food Pantry vouchers.

EBT and SNAP MATCH

The Cooperstown Farmers’ Market and the Cooperstown Lions Club have partnered to offer SNAP Match.

• SNAP Match enables customers to stretch their grocery dollars by doubling an EBT coin distribution with SNAP Match Vouchers, up to $20.00 a week.

• Spending $20 in SNAP benefits gives you $40 in spending power at the Market with SNAP Match

• Please note, shoppers do not get change back when using EBT coins or SNAP Match vouchers.

• Here is a list of what you can purchase with SNAP.

Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) Coupons

Many farmers at the market accept WIC and Senior FMNP coupons. The Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) provides checks to women, infants and children through the Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) and to seniors through the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) for the purchase of locally grown, fresh fruits and vegetables.

• Eligible WIC participants and CSFP seniors are issued FMNP coupons in addition to their regular benefits.

• To find a WIC or CSFP local agency near you, call the Growing Up Healthy Hotline at 1-800-522-5006.

Cooperstown Food Pantry Vouchers

All Farmers’ Market vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables accept Cooperstown Food Pantry vouchers. These vouchers are given out at the Pantry. For information about Food Pantry vouchers, please call 607-547-8902.
