Did you know? Buying different foods is not the only way you can use your SNAP benefits. You can also use them to purchase seeds and grow your own food.

Keep in mind that not all garden centers may accept your EBT card, but you can purchase seeds that produce food at any establishment that supports EBT payments and carries seeds for you to purchase. That includes some grocery stores, big box stores like Walmart and even local farmers markets in your county.
