Jan Walters, of Jan Walters Consulting, announced last week that she and Ames Robb, the SNAP director for the state of Vermont, have started a Farmers Market Advisory Group.

The mission of the group will be to assist states on developing farmers market solutions for the SNAP and WIC programs. The goal is to increase access to farmers markets for participants of both programs.

There are several successful EBT operations across the country," says Ms. Walters. "We want to share that knowledge with states and organizations who wish to expand EBT access at farmers markets."
