Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture envisions an equitable local food system that protects the environment, strengthens the local economy, alleviates hunger and poverty, and improves community health.

Double Up Food Bucks is a healthy food incentive program that doubles value of federal nutrition (SNAP/EBT) benefits spent at participating farmers' markets, helping people bring home more fresh, local food while supporting our local farmers and economy.

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

​Families and individuals 
​have access to more fresh, local food using their SNAP/EBT card

​Local farmers
​gain new customers and make more money

​Local economy
retains more food dollars in the community

We are proud to be partnering with Fair Food Network to help grow vibrant local food systems and inform public policy in our nation. This brief video tells the story of who benefits....
