Double Up Food Bucks at Farm Stands
Pilot Project:
In 2023, Farmers Market Fund began expanding the Double Up Food Bucks program to farm stands. During our pilot season, SNAP shoppers at Sun Gold Farm in Forest Grove and Whistling Duck Farm and Store in Grants Pass, received an automatic 50% discount on Double Up-eligible items. In 2024 the program expanded to nearly 10 participating locations.
Double Up at Farm Stands is Now a Permanent Program!

Farm Stand Defined
For our program, "Farm Stand" means a location at which a farmer sells produce directly to consumers.* A Farm Stand is farmer owned and operated.
*The farm stand does not need to be on the farm where produce is grown
DUFB Program Eligibility
Per state and federal funding, Double Up Food Bucks eligible items are: Locally grown fresh, dried, or frozen whole or cut fruits and vegetables without added sugars, fats, oils, or salt. This includes mushrooms, fresh herbs, dried beans, and food-producing plants and seeds.
For a farm stand to participate in the program, at least 70% percent of the Double Up-eligible produce sold* at the farm stand is to be grown by the farmer operating the farm stand. Up to 30% percent of produce can be consigned or wholesale from local** farmers.
We prioritize produce growers, as these items are Double Up-eligible.
*Measured in volume of sales OR percentage of facing stock at the farm stand
**Local is defined as from within Oregon or a neighboring county of the farm stand in a contiguous state
