Use Double Up Food Bucks & SNAP to Grow Food at Home!

Vegetable Garden

A lot of people don’t realize that you can buy more than New Mexico-grown fruits and vegetables with Double Up Food Bucks. Use Double Up Food Bucks and your SNAP benefits and to buy herbs and food producing plants at your local farmers’ market.

A couple of things you need to know:

Use your silver Double Up tokens to buy food producing plants such as vegetable starts, fruit trees, and herbs.
With the wooden SNAP tokens, you can also buy seeds that grow into food producing plants.

Look for the Double Up Food Bucks logo on posters, table signs, and other places on display at farmers’ market vendor booths. Ask the farmers’ market manager or the vendor which herbs are allowed, as there are some restrictions. Learn more about Double Up Food Bucks here.
