DOUBLE UP FOOD BUCKS PROGRAM

Double Up Food Bucks in Fort Collins — Now at Mountain Avenue Market!

Mountain Avenue Market is proud to be the only Fort Collins-based retail store participating in the Colorado Double Up Food Bucks program—a powerful initiative that helps make healthy, local food more affordable for SNAP (food stamps) participants.

What Is Double Up Food Bucks?

Double Up Food Bucks is an EBT matching program in Colorado that doubles the value of SNAP benefits spent on fresh, local, and nutritious foods. Whether you're shopping at a participating farmers market or right here at our store, you can stretch your food budget further while supporting Colorado farmers and enjoying wholesome, nourishing ingredients.

How It Works

• Use your EBT card at Mountain Avenue Market to purchase SNAP-eligible items.

• For every dollar you spend, you’ll receive a dollar-for-dollar match (up to $20/day) in Double Up Food Bucks.

• Spend those Double Up Bucks on fresh fruits, vegetables, dried beans grown in Colorado, and food-producing seeds or plants.

Why It Matters

• Eat better, spend less: Enjoy more produce and whole foods without increasing your grocery bill.

• Support local agriculture: Your purchases help keep food dollars circulating within the Fort Collins community.

• Shop local, shop fresh: We offer a wide selection of locally grown and organic produce, pantry staples, and more—all EBT and Double Up eligible.
