Leavenworth Farmers Market

The Leavenworth Farmers Market is now accepting the Vision Card for eligible food items purchased in the market. The Vision Card acts as a debit card and is the mechanism for the distribution of SNAP Nutrition and Cash Assistance to families. All Food Assistance Cards regardless of the state of issue are accepted. The Leavenworth Farmers Market, with a grant from the Kansas SRS, has purchased a Wireless Point of Sale (POS) device that supports the acceptance of the Vision Card. In addition to the Vision Card, the Wireless POS device will allow the Leavenworth Farmers Market to accept all Major Debit Cards. On market days, shoppers can go to the Leavenworth Farmers Market Welcome Center (located at the market) for Vision and Debit Card transactions. The shopper simply swipes their card, determines the dollar amount needed and enters their PIN. Shoppers are then given Market Tokens, similar to wooden nickels, which may be used to purchase items from any market vendor.
