DUFB Farmers Market FAQ
Q: What is Double Up Food Bucks?
A: Double Up Food Bucks (Double Up) is a program that “matches” SNAP benefits spent at participating farmers markets. For every $2 of SNAP benefits you choose to spend at the market, you’ll get a dollar for dollar match of up to $20 in Double Up that you can spend on fruits and vegetables. So, if you spend $20 in SNAP benefits, you’ll get an extra $20 – FREE – that you can use to buy more produce.
Q: How does Double Up work at the Salem Community Market?
A: Start by doing your shopping as usual. Let the vendors know what products you want along the way, they will give you a white and yellow carbon copy receipt. When you have finished your shopping for the day, bring all of your receipts from the different market booths to the Information Booth centrally located in the market. They will then total up your bill, charge your SNAP card with the exact amount, and match the total with DUFB which can be spend on fruits and vegetables in the market. Along with your DUFB you will receive the yellow carbon copy of your receipts with a "Paid" stamp on it for you to return to the vendors and receive your products, you can spend your DUFB along the way or save them for a future market in the 2024 season.
TIP: DUFB CAN ONLY BE USED FOR FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMENDED THAT YOU USE YOUR EBT CARD FOR OTHER NECESARY ITEMS (SUCH AS MEAT, BREAD, MILK AND HONEY) THEN USE THE MATCH TOWRDS YOUR PRODUCE FOR THE WEEK.
Q: Do I have to spend $20 in SNAP to get the Double Up match?
A: Nope! You can match any amount up to $20 each day.
Q: Where can I spend my DUFB?
We accept and give out DUFB at all of our markets: The Monday Hospital Market, Wednesday Chemeketa Market, Thursday West Salem Market, and Salem Saturday Market. They can be saved an used throughout the 2024 season.
