Double Your SNAP/EBT Dollars: 

Hendersonville Farmers Market is a SNAP/EBT retailer and will match dollar-for-dollar any SNAP/EBT spending at the market. SNAP/EBT shoppers can swipe their EBT card at the information booth to retrieve tokens. The tokens can then be used as cash with individual vendors for eligible items. This program is generously supported by our Farmers Market Sponsors, Friends of the Market, and Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project’s DUNCS Grant (Double Up North Carolina). The idea behind doubling SNAP dollars at farmers markets is that the incentives will attract more low-income shoppers and make their grocery dollars stretch further while simultaneously boosting local farmers' income. 

Hendersonville Farmers Market is presented by Pardee UNC Health Care. Additional support is provided by our generous sponsors: Wag! A Unique Pet Boutique, Laura Flores NextHome Realty, Mini Batch Bakery, HoneyBee Bliss, Duke Energy, Hendersonville, Community Coop, Self-Help Credit Union, Caroline Ericksen Real Estate, Zerorez of Asheville, Joyce Windows Sunrooms and Baths, The Summit at Hendersonville, Printville, and Discover Hometown Magazine.    

 Hendersonville Farmers Market is operated by the Friends of Downtown Hendersonville, a 501c3 nonprofit wing of the City of Hendersonville’s Community Development Department. For more information, visit hendersonvillefarmersmarket.com.
