Thank you for supporting the La Grande Farmers Market
Food insecurity and lack of access to healthy food are problems that many low-income families in Oregon communities experience.. Our Double Up Food Bucks is an incentive program that matches SNAP (food assistance) dollars spent at The La Grande Farmers Markets so SNAP recipients have greater access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
Stretch your Food Dollars with Double Up Food Bucks
Get more fruits and vegetables when you spend your Oregon Trail Card SNAP dollars at the La Grande Farmers Market. It’s easy with Double Up Food Bucks! For example, if you spend $20 of your SNAP dollars at a participating farmers market, we will give you another $20 to buy more locally grown fruits and vegetables.
What can be bought with
DOUBLE UP FOOD BUCKS?
