Farmers Market offers benefits to local SNAP recipients

Audrey Caro Gomez

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participants are eligible to double the amount they spend at the Sweet Home Farmers Market, up to $10 each week.

That’s an extra $40 a month, said Jan Neilson, manager of the market, which opened June 7 and runs through October.

The matching dollars also can be saved and used at the farmers market on a different day, perhaps when a favorite fruit or vegetable is in season.
