SNAP/EBT is accepted at The Shed on Saturday and Sunday. You get a shopping list at the blue Information Booth, write down what you want at vendor booths, pay at the Information Booth with your EBT card, then pick up your items.
In detail
The steps the market gives for using SNAP benefits at The Shed, and what counts as eligible.
Find the Information Booth.
Look for the blue Information Booth at the front of The Shed. Ask the staff for an EBT/SNAP shopping list.
Look for the SNAP sign.
Participating vendors display a "SNAP Accepted Here" sign at their booth.
Fill out the list.
For each eligible item you want, write down the booth name, the item and the price on the shopping list.
Check out at the booth.
Bring the completed list back to the Information Booth and pay the total with your EBT card.
Pick up your items.
Go back to each vendor booth to collect what you bought. The vendors hold the items while you check out.
Know what is eligible.
Eligible items include local fruits and vegetables, meats and eggs, breads and pastas, dairy, honey, and seeds and plants that produce food. Ready-to-eat foods and drinks, non-food items such as flowers and soaps, and alcohol are not eligible.
