SNAP/EBT PROGRAM

Read BFM's Fill the "SNAP Gap" Press Release here.

On November 1, 2025 the Boise Farmers Market served 551 SNAP households, distributing $21,976 to struggling households. After the government shutdown led to the abrupt end of SNAP benefits, with less than 5 days notice the Market rallied to gain support for our community in need. We are MORE THAN A MARKET, we are a community who "gets farmers paid and neighbors fed."

WE Love snap users! And, we have a match!

SNAP stands for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly called Food Stamps). This program helps Idaho families put healthy food on their table.

Participants may use their SNAP card at the BFM Drive-thru or BFM Walk-thru Market! You can use your SNAP benefits on fresh fruits, vegetables, bread, meat and any un-warmed prepared foods. Benefit cards are swiped and tokens are issued in specified amounts to be used as cash at the Market.

If you have questions on how to use your SNAP or P-EBT benefits at one of our markets, email info@theboisefarmersmarket.com and we will be happy to answer any questions!

DOUBLE UP FOOD BUCKS

Stretch your food dollars! Double Up Food Bucks is a project providing incentives to encourage healthier food choices for SNAP recipients with a one-to-one match up to $20.00 per transaction. This means if you buy $20 in SNAP Tokens, you get $20 in DUFB tokens! The Double Up Food Bucks can be used for fresh fruit and vegetables plus food-bearing plants. The Double Up Food tokens are dispersed at the information booth along with the SNAP tokens.
