Did you know that, if you are a SNAP recipient, you can double your food dollars and get more fresh veggies from our CSA? Learn how the Oregon Double Up Food Bucks program works and how it benefits you, your community, and your planet.

What Is Double Up Food Bucks?

Double Up Food Bucks is a nutrition incentive program that matches SNAP funds to enable SNAP shoppers to purchase more fruits and vegetables. For every dollar spent on SNAP-eligible foods at participating locations, you will receive an additional dollar to spend on Oregon-grown fruits and veggies.

This means that if you spend $20 in SNAP on local produce, you will get $20 free in Double Up Food Bucks to spend on even more fresh produce. That's a total of $40 worth of food for only $20!

How Does Double Up Food Bucks Work at Green Heart Garden CSA?

Green Heart Garden CSA is one of the participating CSAs in the Double Up Food Bucks program. This means that you can use your SNAP benefits to pay for 50% of your share of our harvests and Double Up Food Bucks will pay for the other half.

Double Up Food Bucks is a win-win-win program that benefits you, your community, and your planet.

🥕 You get more fresh, nutritious, and delicious produce for your money. You can eat healthier, save money, and enjoy a variety of fruits and vegetables that are grown using low-till, ecologically friendly practices.
