Exciting Opportunities at Local Farmers Markets
This summer, six farmers markets across the region are offering an exciting opportunity for shoppers: double SNAP/Link bucks! This initiative allows eligible participants to stretch their food budgets while supporting local farmers and producers. As you go about your shopping this season, keep an eye on listings for your specific county to take advantage of this beneficial program.
How Does the Double SNAP/Link Bucks Program Work?
The double SNAP/Link bucks program is designed to incentivize the purchase of fresh, local produce. When shoppers using SNAP or Link benefits visit a participating farmers market, they can essentially double their purchasing power. For example, if you spend $10 in SNAP benefits, you may receive an additional $10 in tokens that can be used to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and other eligible goods at the market.
Participating Farmers Markets in the Region

Each market has its own unique offerings, hours, and specific guidelines on how to obtain double bucks. Make your shopping plans accordingly and enjoy the plethora of fresh, healthy options that are available this summer.
