All the Oregon markets listed below participate in this program!

Winter tip: Use your Double Up Food Bucks for storage crops like winter squash, potatoes, and onions, which keep for weeks in a cool pantry!

Note: Most markets are closed on Saturday, Dec. 27, 2025, and Saturday, Jan. 3, 2026, for the holidays. Always check the market’s website or social media before heading out during holiday weeks.
