Getting Carded: Local farmers’ markets again accepting food stamps

At least two of Pittsburgh’s Citiparks farmers’ markets — the East Liberty and North Side locations — will accept food stamps this season.

“It’s a win-win for poor people, affluent people, farmers and the communities,” says Ken Regal, executive director of Just Harvest, a local nonprofit that helped acquire several free Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) terminals for the city from the state.
