How to use SNAP/EBT, DUFB, FDNP, and Protein Perks

SNAP/EBT

SNAP recipients will visit the Bend Farmers Market booth at FYP to exchange EBT for wooden tokens that can be accepted by any FYP vendor (except Smith Rock Coffee Roasters, Knife Sharpening, and hot/prepared food items).

Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB)

To access DUFB, you must go to the Bend Farmers Market booth and withdraw SNAP benefits. We have been awarded a $100 match for the 2025 FYP event! DUFB can be used for any fresh fruits or vegetables (which includes herbs and mushrooms as well). A matching grant means that whatever amount of benefits you withdraw, you will get a match of DUFB benefits to use, up to $100. So, for example, if you withdraw…

  • $20, you will receive $40 in benefits- $20 of your EBT and $20 of DUFB

  • $100, you will receive $200 in benefits- $100 of EBT and $100 of DUFB

  • $150, you will receive $250 in benefits- $150 of EBT and $100 of DUFB (because the match only goes up to $100)

Protein Perks

To access Protein Perks, you must go to the Bend Farmers Market booth and withdraw SNAP benefits. We are able to offer a $20 match for the Protein Perks program this year! Protein Perks can be used for Meat, Fish, Cheese, and Eggs only.

Farm Direct Nutrition Program Vouchers (FDNP)

These vouchers can be used directly with the farmers. Farmers accepting FDNP Vouchers include: Boundless Farmstead, Canyon Moon Farm, Cultivate Farm, Deschutes Canyon Garlic, Farmer in Odell, Rainshadow Organics, Rooper Ranch, Sungrounded Farm, Upriver Organics, and Zajac Farm

Other Notes

To utilize all the food access program matching grant benefits, you would need to withdraw $120 in EBT. You would then receive $240 in benefits- $120 in EBT, $100 in DUFB, and $20 in Protein Perks. This is not mandatory or necessary. You may withdraw any amount of benefits best suits you.

If you have SNAP tokens, DUFB or Protein Perk cards left over from Farmers Market season, those may be used at FYP and must be used up at FYP as the 2025 cards will not be accepted at the market in 2026.

Unfortunately, at this time, we are NOT able to accept SNAP for pre-orders. As of this time, the online software programs and USDA programs we are aware of only allow direct sales (aka Farmer to Customer) and not intermediary sales (aka Farmer to FYP to Customer).
