How has TCLF supported Texas farmers markets? By helping markets start accepting SNAP! Swipe through to see how we help farmers markets accept SNAP/EBT and connect more people with fresh, local food.

How have we supported Texas farmers markets? By helping more markets accept SNAP!
Firest, we learn our partners' goals and share resources and support on completing the USDA SNAP Retailer application.
Next, we help markets select their equipment for SNAP EBT transactions.
Then, we consult with partners and train on SNAP procedures at the market.
Finally, we provide materials and services to promote that SNAP is proudly accepted at the market!
21 markets have partnered with us and started accepting SNAP since 2022!
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
