We believe everyone deserves access to fresh, locally-grown food. Our Double Bucks program matches SNAP/EBT, SUN Bucks, and WIC/Senior FMNP benefits dollar-for-dollar, effectively doubling the purchase power of limited-income families at the market.
By sponsoring a family that participates in our Double Bucks program, you directly underwrite the fresh, nutritious food on their table while investing in local agriculture.

How else can I support the Durham Farmers’ Market?
We have a number of programs and projects that require funding each year. Below are some of the programs we will be focusing on in 2026.
-
Sprouts Club encourages and empowers kids to make healthy food choices through educational activities, opportunities to engage with farmers, and an increased awareness of new fruits and vegetables. After participating in the designated activity each week, kids will be given dedicated market money that can be used at the booth of their choice.
-
The DFM is committed to increasing access to local and fresh food for ALL families and individuals in our community. We currently accept SNAP/EBT and offer Double Bucks for all SNAP/EBT, WIC and Senior FMNP, and cash match transactions.
-
Cooking demonstrations will introduce customers to new foods while providing the opportunity to ask questions about cooking techniques, storage tips, and recipe adaptation. By introducing customers to new fruits and vegetables, we hope to increase healthy purchasing and eating habits and generate excitement around cooking, while providing financial support to our 31 local farmers.
-
We strive for the DFM to be a place where community is built, relationships are formed, and comfort is felt. Part of how we achieve those goals is by having all of the essentials that we need -- tents, eating tables, proper signage, and much more.
