Local Farmers Markets<\/h2>\n
Accept Bridge Cards & Double Up Food Bucks<\/h3>\n
\n\nBridge card holders can now make purchases at many farmers markets in Ottawa County (including Grand Haven, Holland, and Spring Lake), and have their spending matched with Double Up Food Bucks! When you use your Bridge Card at a participating farmers market, the Double Up Food Bucks program will match your dollar for dollar with bonus funds (up to $20\/day) that you can use at the market to buy more fresh, Michigan-grown fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\nIt’s that simple – spend up to $20 on your Bridge Card at the market, and you’ll get up to $20 more; free to spend on healthy, local foods.
