SNAP (food assistance) recipients are eligible to participate in the Double Up Food Bucks programs, which allows them to purchase additional fruits and vegetables at no additional cost.
Local Farmers Markets
Participants can use their EBT card at the Boulder, Lafayette, Longmont, and Nederland farmers markets. For every dollar spent from a SNAP account at the market, participants will receive an equal amount of Double Up Bucks (up to $40 at Boulder market and $20 at all other locations per visit), which can be used to buy fresh fruits and vegetables.
