Double Up Food Bucks Program

Double Up is Oregon’s first statewide incentive program, designed to be convenient for shoppers. The program doubles the value of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits at local farmers markets so shoppers can bring home more fresh fruits and vegetables. Double Up Food Bucks will be offered at more than 75 farmers markets across the state in 2022. The program also provides incentives for SNAP participants purchasing Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares from Oregon farms, and shoppers at several independently-owned rural grocery stores.

Stretch your Food Dollars with Double Up Food Bucks

Double Up Food Bucks allows SNAP shoppers to get DOUBLE the fruits and vegetables at CSA shares, Farmers Markets, Farm Stands, and Grocery Stores across Oregon!

How do I know if I’m eligible to use Double Up Food Bucks?
