When a person eligible for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) uses his or her SNAP Bridge Card to shop for food at a farmers' market, the amount of money that he or she spends is matched with Double Up Food Bucks bonus tokens.
How It Works
When a person eligible for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) uses his or her SNAP Bridge Card to shop for food at a farmers' market, the amount of money that he or she spends is matched with Double Up Food Bucks bonus tokens. The tokens can then be exchanged for Michigan-grown fruits and vegetables.

Shoppers visit the Bridge Card booth/tent at their market and get their Bridge Card tokens
Shoppers get an equal amount, up to $20, of Double Up Food Bucks tokens.
Shoppers spend their tokens with vendors at the market. Bridge Card tokens can be spent on any SNAP-eligible food items. DUFB tokens are for Michigan-grown fruits and vegetables only.
How It Works — Electronically
Only a few markets in the state use an electronic system. Markets using an electronic system are noted on the Market tab.
Shoppers need a Valid Bridge Card with Food Stamps/SNAP benefits, and a State ID or Driver’s License. Sign up only once, and it takes less than 1 minute. The same card is used all season.
Shoppers earn up to $20 per market day in credits on their Market Card by using their Bridge Card to buy any approved foods with any participating vendor.
Shoppers spend credits on fruits and vegetables grown in Michigan with participating vendors.
