The Yardley Farmers’ Market (YFM) is pleased to announce that we are now accepting SNAP EBT benefits at the market. YFM is the first farmers’ market in Bucks County to become authorized to accept EBT benefits at the market. “We are excited to offer greater access to healthy food for more community members while supporting the local small business and farming economy.” Because our farmers market is a new venue for SNAP customers to shop, St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Yardley has partnered with YFM to provide an incentive program. Thanks to their generosity, SNAP clients who use their EBT benefits at the market can receive a dollar-for-dollar match up to $10/Market day at YFM. From fresh fruits and veggies to bakery items (including gluten free and vegan), to coffee, customers can purchase any eligible food items. Just visit the Market Table under the Pavilion to swipe your card and receive your matching dollars.

The Market is held in Buttonwood Park, Yardley Borough every Saturday from 9 AM to 12 PM.

Two of our Farmers (Solly Farm and Love Grows) also accept Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP and SMNP) vouchers.
