Most Wild Fork Foods locations are SNAP-authorized retailers, allowing you to use an EBT card for in-store purchases. However, EBT is not an accepted payment method for online orders placed through the company’s website or third-party apps. Curbside pickup orders are also ineligible since they are processed online.

How To Use EBT At Wild Fork Foods

You can use your SNAP benefits at most Wild Fork stores for eligible food items. Before you shop, it is a good idea to confirm participation. You can find your nearest branch using the company's store locator and then verify its status on the USDA's SNAP Retailer Locator.

How To Pay With EBT At Wild Fork Foods

When you get to the register, the checkout process for using your EBT card is straightforward. The point-of-sale system can handle transactions that include both SNAP-eligible and non-eligible items.

• Inform the cashier you are paying with SNAP so they can ring up items correctly.

• The system can process a split payment if your cart contains both eligible and non-eligible goods.

• Have another payment method ready for any non-food items, associated taxes, or promotional add-ons.

What Can You Buy With An EBT Card At Wild Fork Foods?

Your SNAP benefits cover a wide range of food items at Wild Fork. The store's vast selection of frozen goods means you can stock up on everyday proteins and unique specialty items.

• Meats and Poultry: This includes beef, pork, and chicken. You can also find signature cuts like dry-aged skirt steak, tomahawk chops, and various types of Wagyu beef.

• Seafood: A large selection of frozen fish and shellfish is available, including popular choices like salmon, cod, tuna, shrimp, and scallops.

• Exotic and Game Meats: Wild Fork is known for its specialty proteins. You can often find bison, venison, elk, ostrich, alligator, and even kangaroo.

• Prepared Foods: The freezer aisles contain cold entrées, sides, and appetizers that you take home to heat. This includes items like empanadas, pastas, and desserts.

• Fruits, Vegetables, and Plant-Based Items: You can also purchase frozen produce and a selection of plant-based proteins.

Keep in mind that the availability of certain products, particularly premium or exotic meats, can differ between store locations.

Special Discount Programs for EBT Cardholders

Wild Fork Foods does not offer special discounts or programs exclusively for EBT cardholders. Any promotions or sales you find in the store or online are available to all customers, regardless of how they choose to pay. Promotions and membership benefits may vary by location.

While there are no EBT-only deals, you can still lower your grocery bill. Here are some practical ways to save money on your purchases at Wild Fork:

• Join the My Wild Fork membership if you place several orders a year. The plan’s free or reduced shipping fees can quickly offset the low monthly cost.

• Sign up for the app, email, or SMS lists. The company sends out personalized coupons and credits that are not advertised publicly.

• Shop for clearance items, often marked with yellow or red stickers. Buying family-sized packs or cases can also lower the per-pound price by 10-25%.

• Compare different cuts of meat. Opting for bone-in versions, larger roasts, or alternate grades can provide the same protein at a lower cost per serving.

• Use the website’s price-per-pound filter before heading to the store to target the lowest-cost options and avoid impulse buys.

• Stack member promos with seasonal sales events. The chain routinely marks down entire categories, which is a great time for bulk purchases.

Why Isn’t EBT Accepted at More Wild Fork Foods Locations?

While most Wild Fork stores are SNAP-authorized, the rollout isn't automatic for every new location. Each store must individually apply to the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service to become an approved retailer. This application process involves paperwork and verification that takes time, creating a lag between a store's opening and its ability to accept EBT cards.

Beyond the application, there are technical hurdles to clear. A store’s point-of-sale (POS) system must be specifically programmed to handle EBT transactions. This includes differentiating between eligible and non-eligible items for split payments. Integrating this technology and completing all administrative steps can delay a location's ability to offer SNAP payment options right away.
