      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 tokens that they can spend like cash in our farmers market. SNAP Plus enhances this service by providing food stamp shoppers a match to their spending – the incentive is a dollar-for-dollar match to every dollar spent (up to $10) using an EBT at the market – effectively doubling your purchasing power of healthy fresh food.

      Hours for the Education Center are:

      Fridays: 11am-4pm
      Saturdays: 8am-3pm
