OHIO DIRECTION CARD
GCFM is pleased to accept Ohio Direction Card, Ohio's food assistance
program, an Electronic Bank Transfer (EBT) program replacing paper
food stamps. Recipients receive their benefits electronically,
and access them with a card which acts like a debit card.
GCFM will sell Ohio Direction Card shoppers $1 denomination wooden
EBT tokens which may be used in lieu of cash at the markets
within the following provisions:
$1 EBT Tokens may only be used for: fruits, vegetables, meats,
fish poultry, dairy products and seeds and plants intended for
growing food
$1 EBT Tokens may not be used for: non-food items,
ready-to-eat foods, hot foods
No change can be given back by vendors
Unused tokens can be returned to the EBT booth
and credited to your Ohio Direction Card account or used at future markets
Some of our farmers also accept vouchers from the
Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program for women, infants and children
(WIC)
Please check at the information booth for a currant list of the participating vendors.
