FOOD ACCESS PROGRAMS

We believe fresh, local food should be accessible to everyone. Bellevue Farmers Market proudly participates in multiple food benefit programs.

SNAP shoppers can swipe their EBT card at the Information Booth and receive tokens to use with vendors. SNAP Market Match provides a dollar-for-dollar match up to $25 per market day for fresh fruits and vegetables.
