Dozens of Georgia farmers markets will have to stop accepting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP benefits as payment by the end of the month.

As of now, on July 31, farmers will have to stop processing SNAP payments. The government ended its contract with Novodia, the company that makes the app that allows SNAP payments to be processed. Farmers markets that use Novodia were notified on July 1.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture sent out a statement regarding the app shutdown this weekend, saying in part:

"... USDA has been exploring all available options to avoid a service disruption. Our number one goal is to mitigate the impact on our program participants as well as farmers and producers."

Thirty-nine farmers markets in the state of Georgia use Novodia. There are other companies the markets can use, but that process takes months to set up, meaning they would be out of luck until next year.
