Farmers Markets In Florida that Double Your EBT Money

This post is about the Double EBT Farmers Markets In Florida, also called the Florida fresh access bucks program. 

A great way to stretch your food stamps benefits is to shop at farmers markets. There are many advantages that come with buying produce and other food products at farmers markets.

One of the biggest benefits is that some farmers markets will even match your EBT card spending.

This means for every $1 food stamps money you spend on your EBT card, you get $2 worth of food.

This is called Market Match or Double EBT, or Double Up Food Bucks in some states. 

In this post, we will list the Double EBT Farmers Markets in Florida and explain how the process works.

Florida EBT Discount Summary

Your Florida EBT Card provides you access to some exciting discounts and perks, including 50% discount on Amazon Prime, Free or Discounted home or cell phone service, and the Double EBT match.

Here is a summary of the EBT Perks you are entitled to, including the Double EBT Match at farmers markets, which is described in detail below.

Amazon Prime EBT Discount

If you have a Florida ACCESS Card, you can now sign up for Amazon Prime EBT Discount and get all the great benefits that come with Prime membership, at a fraction of the cost.

The regular Amazon Prime membership is $14.99 a month.

However, if you have an EBT Card, you can get Prime Membership for $6.99. That’s over 50% off the regular price.

Given that Amazon is part of the USDA pilot of vendors approved to accept food stamps online for delivery, prime membership allows you to order groceries through Amazon Pantry in certain parts of the country.

For more on the Amazon Prime EBT Discount, see our Prime EBT Discount post.

  • Medicaid (Medicare is not acceptable)

  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
  • Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit Program
