SNAP INCENTIVE SERVICE DESCRIPTION
The That's My Farmer SNAP Incentive Program runs at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds (winter) Farmers' Market every Saturday starting Nov 19th.
When a SNAP client spends at least $6 of their benefits at participating farmers markets, they receive $6 in tokens for free to spend at that market. That means clients who shop at the market every week are eligible for an extra $24 a month ($48 per month in Corvallis, where the market runs twice a week).
The incentive program also pertains to the Corvallis, Albany, Sweet Home, Brownsville, Lebanon, Newport, Lincoln County Fairgrounds (winter), Yachats, Toledo and Lincoln City Farmers' Markets.
