DOUBLE UP FOOD BUCKS:
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.
How it works:
1. Bring your SNAP/EBT card, W.I.C. or Senior FMNP vouchers to the farmers' market.
2. When you arrive, go to the manager booth to get your Beet Bucks and Double Up Food Bucks tokens, matched dollar for dollar.
3. Spend your tokens with farmers throughout the market to buy delicious local food.
It’s that simple!
