Resources Administration (HRA)
EBT sales reached over $100,000 at Greenmarkets
The New York City Council began funding Greenmarket’s EBT project
GrowNYC Piloted farmer operated model at 3 Greenmarkets
The Farmers Market Federation of NY, the NY State Office of Temporary & Disabled Assistance, and the New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets piloted a number of programs utilizing battery-operated, wireless point-of-sale terminals at farmers markets. Prior to 2005, these programs emphasized distributing individual terminals directly to farmers.
In 2004 only 55 individual farmers in all
of New York State accepted EBT with sales,
totaling $35,200.
In 2005, Greenmarket farmers earned $1,000 in EBT dollars at three markets.
