Take advantage of SNAP food bucks at local farmers markets

At participating farmers markets in Mesa County, the SNAP Double Up Food Bucks program is available for qualifying participants to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables. It matches SNAP purchases $1 for $1 (up to $20 daily and $60 monthly) to spend on fresh produce.

When you shop at a participating farmers’ market, here’s what to do:

• Bring your EBT card to the information booth before you shop.  
• Buy SNAP-eligible food with your EBT card. The staff will swipe your card and give you SNAP bucks to spend at vendor booths.  
• Get a dollar-for-dollar match in Double Up Food Bucks, good for Colorado-grown produce.

In Mesa County, you can take advantage of the Double Up Food Bucks program at the Downtown Grand Junction Market on Main, Palisade Farmers Market and the Fruita Farmers Market.
