Is there a way to get a list of vendors who accept EBT or accept the EBT coins? I am new and excited to go but I have anxiety disorders and I like to know as much as I can first. So, no big deal if this isn’t something you keep. But if anyone has a list for me I would appreciate it, endlessly. Thank you.
Hello! We appreciate your support and desire to eat local. The Market Managers at the Manager’s Booth should have this information, at least to a certain extent. They are going to be your best resource for navigating the market.
