In July of 2007, Eastern Market Corporation was approved to accept the
EBT/Bridge Card on behalf of the farmers and vendors that sell from the
market sheds. The Eastern Market Bridge Card Token Program officially
began on July 14 and currently more than 35 farmers and vendors are
participating in the program. Bridge Card holders can purchase specially
designed wooden tokens, with their Bridge Card and use them to purchase
farm fresh produce, meat, baked goods and other items from the farmers
and vendors.
Tokens can be purchased at the Eastern Market Welcome Center, located
at 1445 Adelaide (at Market Street) between Sheds 2 and 3 every
Saturday, from 7:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Each token has a value of one
dollar ($1). The tokens are only good for food items purchased from
Eastern Market authorized farmers and vendors. They cannot be used at
neighboring businesses*. Approved vendors proudly display a sign that
says “Bridge Card Tokens Accepted Here.”
Look for the sign at participating farmers and vendors' location:
