I have tried to make your local Delaware Scavenger hunt as easy as possible by providing the following information for all the major Farmers Markets in DE:
- Delaware Farmers Market Name
- Market Address
- Delaware County
- Delaware Farmers Market Contact Information
- Whether market is covered or not
- Daily and Seaonal Operating schedule
- Accepted Payment Options and Federal Assistance & Nutrition Programs - "WIC", "SFMNP", "EBT":
- WIC Vouchers
WIC or "Women, Infants, and Children Program" is a Federal assistance program for postpartum, breastfeeding, or low-income women or infants and children found to be at risk for nutritional deficiency. Your Delaware WIC agency may provide nutrition education, health care referrals, or supplemental food vouchers good at your local Flea or Farmers Market via your state's WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program.- SFMNP Vouchers
SFMNP or "Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program" is a Federally funded nutrition program designed to assist low-income senior citizens. Your Delaware SFMNP agency provides qualifying seniors with coupons that can be used at eligible community supported agriculture programs, roadside stands, or Farmers Markets in Delaware for purchase of "fresh, unprocessed, and nutritious fresh-cut herbs, fruits, and vegetables."- EBT or "Electronic Benefits Transfer" (i.e. Credit Cards or Debit Cards) and SNAP / Food Stamp Benefits
Of course cash is king at all Delaware Flea Markets and Farmers Markets, so you can't go wrong by bringing plenty of "all-mighty Dollars" with you. But if credit cards are accepted, you have the added benefit of a Federal law which limits your losses due to fraudulent credit card transactions to only $50. And there may also be protection through your credit card company against disputed charges or quality of goods. Something to think about in case you happen upon a big ticket item like furniture, tools, or antiques. So plastic may be the way to go in some cases.SNAP / Food Stamps Benefits
More and more farmers markets are starting to accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits - SNAP (once known as Food Stamps) via EBT. Contact your DE market ahead of time to see which markets may accept SNAP benefits and what details may be involved. Usually when paying with SNAP EBT, cash cannot be given back and only eligible SNAP foods can be purchased at the point of sale.
