For its 2026 core market season, the Greer Farmers Market will offer a program allowing attendees to double their SNAP benefits, giving eligible shoppers the chance to stretch their grocery dollars further.
While the Farmers Market has been a SNAP retailer for years, the opportunity for attendees to double SNAP is a new addition to the event series. With the new program in place, shoppers using EBT or SNAP at the market will be able to get double the amount in vouchers, up to $40.
“If they spend $40, they would get an additional $40, plus $15 in Healthy Bucks tokens for fruits and vegetables — a $95 value for spending $40,” said Maggie Blair, Greer Farmers Market director. “We are blessed to be able to fund this program through corporate sponsors from our Greer community.”
The program is set to officially begin during the Greer Farmers Market’s core market season, starting April 26. Shoppers can purchase SNAP Scrip at the Greer Farmers Market booth, and eligible vendors will accept the scripts as payment.
At the market, SNAP can be used for the following items: Fruits and vegetables; Meat, poultry, and fish; Dairy products; Breads and cereals; Snack foods; Non-alcoholic beverages; and Seeds and plants that produce food for the household to eat.
