Map of counties with farmers market EBT capacity.

Did you know that you can use your Vision Card at more than thirteen farmers markets across the state?

If your county is highlighted on the map, there is at least one market that is able to accept Food Assistance (SNAP) and Cash Assistance from Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services' Vision Card. Most of these markets also accept debit cards.

If there is no market in your county currently accepting the Vision Card, take a moment to let the farmers and manager know that you'd like to spend your SNAP dollars on food grown in your community!
