Double Up Food Bucks

High Quality, Responsible Food for All

Double Up Food Bucks is a healthy food incentive program that doubles value of federal nutrition benefits spent at farmers' markets, helping people buy local food while supporting our local farmers and economy.

It's a win-win-win on market day:

We are proud to partner with Fair Food Network to help grow a vibrant local food system and inform public policy to address hunger and nutrition while supporting a more sustainable food system.

How it works:

1. Bring your SNAP/EBT card, W.I.C. or Senior FMNP vouchers to a participating farmers' market

2. When you arrive, go to the market manager booth to double your SNAP/W.IC. or Senior FMNP dollars and get your tokens

3. Spend your tokens with farmers
throughout the market to buy
delicious local food

(it's that simple!)

You can shop at farmers' markets year round!
