Through a partnership with the Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency and the Ithaca Farmers Market, certain Ithaca residents can receive a 60% discount when shopping Ithaca Farmers Market online marketplace.

The discount is targeted to low to moderate-income City of Ithaca residents who qualify for SNAP or who make less than the income requirements, which vary depending on household size (1 person $37,680, 2 persons $43,020, 3 persons $48,420, 4 persons $53,760, 5 persons $58,080, 6 persons $62,400, 7 persons $66,720 and 8+ persons $70,980). Items may be purchased with cash, card, check, or an EBT card.

SNAP benefits can be used to purchase meats, produce, apple cider, cheese, baked goods, bread, honey, and maple syrup.

This benefit may only be leveraged when shopping online for order pick up through the end of March. Online orders can be placed at: https://ithacamarket.localfoodmarketplace.com/Products and be picked up at the Winter Market location at Triphammer Marketplace Saturdays 12 to 2 PM outside the Reuse Center (Delivery options are limited but may be available for those customers unable to travel, please email info@ithacamarket.com). EBT shoppers should bring their benefits card for payment processing upon arrival and be prepared to answer a short four-question, anonymous demographic survey.
