The Grants Pass Growers Market accepts EBT cards at the Market Information booth  When you run your card for any amount available to you on your EBT card you will receive what we call blue scrip money.  This scrip money is accepted by all fresh food vendors in the Market.  You may not buy hot prepared food.  It is just like using your EBT card at the grocery store.  The blue scrip money comes in $2.00 increments and there is no change given.  

In addition to the blue scrip money this year the Grants Pass Growers Market will participate in the Double Up Food Bucks  program.  This program is a fund kindly created by the Oregon Farmers Association and sponsored by our local
All Care Health, has also generously donated monies for a Protein Buck program. use your EBT card, get matching DUFB's and Protein Bucks.  Adding more purchasing power for your buck. 
 
HOW IT WORKS:  When you run your EBT card for scrip money you will receive a matching amount of DUFB cards up to $10.00 only.  If you get $2.00 in scrip you get $2.00 in DUFB, same for $4.00 you get $4.00 in DUFB, same for $6.00, $8.00 and $10.00.  If you get $10.00 in EBT you get $10.00 in DUFB for a total of $20.00 in market money.  The match only goes up to $10.00 and can only be used for FRESH FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND VEGETABLE PLANT STARTS and can only be used in the Grants Pass Growers Market.  You can only double up once per Saturday market.  The blue scrip money does not expire.  Double Up Food Buck's and the Protein Bucks do expire at the end of the year. 

These great programs work so you can get more of the fresh fruits and veggies which promote healty eating habits and nutrition and this could free up your EBT blue scrip money for other wholesome foods like, honey, cheeses, breads, jams, jellies and processed foods.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Market information booth any Saturday morning 9:00 - 1:00
