EBT Double Bucks at Wake County Farmers Markets 

DOUBLE BUCKS: When you spend money using your EBT (electronic benefits transfer) card, you'll get double that amount to spend at the market.  For example, spend $5 with EBT and get $10 worth of food!

How it works:

  1. Go to the information tent at the Farmers Market.
  2. Swipe your EBT card for how much you want to spend at the market.
  3. The amount you spend will be doubled and you will get tokens to use at the market. Tokens never expire and can be used at any time. The markets linked below explain how EBT works.
  4. Use EBT tokens to purchase fruit, vegetables, meat and eggs.
