    I haven't seen you post this so I wanted to let you know that many Seattle farmers markets are accepting EBT food stamp cards. Wonderful articles you write!

  • Carole 2 years ago

    Thanks for the tip, Lori. I plan to add focus articles on each of the 17 Seattle farmers markets (in winter, when things slow down a bit--the markets are simply bursting right now with produce and events!). These articles will give details for individual markets, such as do they allow dogs, do they sell crafts, and do they accept food stamps, etc. Thanks again.

    Fremont Farmer's market website is www.fremontmarket.com/fremont/.

    I liked her article, so I posted a link to it in my Seattle New Moms Examiner column. Thanks!

    Thanks Jennifer! I added the link to Fremont market.
