NEW @ THE 2022 MARKET:
DOWNTOWN GROWERS' MARKET TOKENS

At the start of the 2022 market season, DGM will have SNAP and Debit tokens specific to the market.

These tokens will include the Downtown Growers' Market logo and the currency amount.
Take a look below to get familiar with these new tokens!

DGM vendors will no longer accept non-DGM tokens. If you have tokens from last year visit us at the Info Booth to exchange your old tokens for new ones until July 1, 2022. 

Options for everyone!

In order to make healthy, local food an option for everyone at any income level, our market accepts a wide variety of payment options. 

• Cash: accepted by all vendors
• Debit/Credit: accepted by some vendors (not all of our vendors have their own electronic sales)
• Market Tokens: If you find you've run out of cash you can swipe your debit or credit card at the Information Booth for blue market tokens in $5 increments (with $2 service charge per transaction). These are accepted by all vendors at the market. Vendors will give you cash back in change.

SNAP/EBT & the Double Up Food Bucks Program (DUFB)

If you have a SNAP card our market will double your spending ability. You decide how much you want off your card (say $20) and we will match that amount for free with DUFB tokens (so you get $40 to spend)!

SNAP tokens are wooden red tokens and come in $1 increments. These tokens can be used on items you would purchase at a grocery store (bread, eggs, honey, meats, dairy, produce, baked goods, seeds & plants for human consumption, etc. No hot prepared foods, coffee, or non-food items). 
​
Double Up Food Bucks tokens are silver and come in $2 increments. These are the extra tokens given for free and are only good for fresh produce, seeds and plant starts meant for human consumption. 

Check out the videos below for more information on Double Up Food Bucks or check out their website HERE. To learn more about how to sign up for SNAP benefits in New Mexico go HERE.

Fresh RX

Our market also accepts Presbyterian healthy food prescriptions (Fresh RX), WIC (Women, Infant and Children Program) benefits and Senior benefits all of which are good for fresh produce. 

Fresh RX prescriptions are turned into our Information booth in exchange for purple Fresh RX tokens, in $1 increments. These tokens are good for fresh produce and pinto beans. Prescriptions must be obtained from doctors and more information can be found HERE. 

WIC & Senior Program: Mobile & Card Payments

As of 2022 physical WIC checks are no longer being issued. Instead, WIC participants will receive their benefits digitally or via a shopper card. ​For more information on the WIC program go HERE.
​
WIC & Senior payments can be made directly with farmers who have signed up to accept WIC. Look for WIC paperwork to be displayed at their booth, or ask them directly. WIC benefits can be used as payment for unprocessed fruits and vegetables. Senior benefits can be used for unprocessed fruits and vegetables and honey.
