Heartland Local Food Network released a guide outlining the process for establishing a program to accept LINK cards at farmers' markets.  This manual was developed based on the experience of the Heartland Local Food Network's work supporting implementation of a LINK program at the Downtown Bloomington Farmers’ Market in Bloomington, Illinois. By sharing this information, they hope to make it easier for other markets to achieve the same goal – and to expand access to fresh, healthy food for low-income residents throughout the state of Illinois.
