Abstract

Double Up Food Bucks (Double Up) is a statewide produce incentive program that allows Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formally known as food stamps program, customers to access more locally grown, fresh vegetables and fruits at farmers markets, farm stands, and community supported agriculture (CSA) programs. A program of the Utah Department of Health, the benefits of Double Up and SNAP are three-fold: families with low income eat more healthy food, local farmers gain new customers and make more money, and more food dollars stay in the local economy.
