COLUMBUS — Access to fresh foods is getting easier for nearly a million Ohio residents.
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services just released a list of Ohio farmers' markets which accept the Ohio Direction Card, which Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients use to buy food.
According to ODJFS, 1.4 million Ohioans benefit monthly from SNAP.
This year there are 92 markets across the state accepting The Ohio Direction Card.
“Fresh fruits and vegetables are essential to a healthy diet and lifestyle,” said ODJFS Director Kimberly Hall. “Not only can Ohioans support local farmers through this program, but they can use their benefits to stretch their budgets and access nutritious food.”
Here's a list of farmers' markets in the Northeast Ohio area:
