Birdhouse Farmers Market believes everyone should have access to healthy local foods. We are proud to accept EBT/SNAP at both our in-person and our online market. Additionally, we participate in the Virginia Fresh Match Program doubling the purchasing power for our SNAP customers. Here are the details:
To use your SNAP benefits at the market,
Come to the Information Tent.
We’ll swipe your SNAP/EBT card and give you tokens (red) to use on any SNAP eligible products.
In addition you will receive an equal amount of Virginia Fresh Match tokens (green) for free.
Green tokens can be used for fresh fruits and vegetables only.
Tokens do not expire, but can be used only at Birdhouse Farmers Market.
To use your SNAP benefits online,
Set up an account on our Lulu's site.
Email the market manager before ordering online for the first time at: birdhousefarmersmarket@gmail.com with the following information:
Name on Lulu’s Account (must match your SNAP/EBT Card)
A message that states that you would like to begin using SNAP/EBT funds to shop at Birdhouse Online.
After we receive your email we will:
Set up a SNAP credit (base credit: $65) which will be available every week.
If you need more credit for any particular week, email us and we will add the specific amount you ask for! (Do not put your credit card information into Lulu’s as we are unable to process refunds to your card at this time.)
No processing fees or sales tax is charged on SNAP orders.
Only SNAP-eligible items may be purchased using SNAP.
SNAP customers qualify for a 50% discount on their entire order, so long as at least half of the order is fresh fruits and vegetables through the Virginia Fresh Match program!
Online customers using SNAP pay with their SNAP/EBT card at pick up. Any purchases for non-SNAP items will also be paid for at pickup with a credit/debit card.
All discounts are applied at pickup.
