FARM BUSINESS

Accepting and doubling SNAP at farmers' markets has great potential to increase food-insecure people's access to fresh produce AND to increase profits for market vendors. But it's complicated. Sit in on a fishbowl discussion with market reps, a grower, our Regional Representative for the SNAP soft- and hardware, and a food systems expert; learn what the complications are (or aren't!); and help determine how to maximize this program's potential in Tennessee!
