Can I use FoodShare (SNAP) at the Dane County Farmers' Market, and is there a matching program?

Yes. At the Dane County Farmers' Market, bring your Quest card to the Info Booth, swipe it, and receive market dollars to spend with vendors. Market dollars don't expire and can be used on most SNAP-eligible food, but not on flowers, wreaths or hot prepared foods. The City of Madison and Dane County's Double Dollars program matches SNAP withdrawals dollar for dollar up to $20 per market day, and the matched dollars can be spent only on fruits and vegetables. The Saturday booth is at the top of State Street, and the Wednesday booth is across from the Madison Municipal Building. Winter markets also offer SNAP service. Check dcfm.org and the City's Double Dollars page for this season's dates and participating markets.
