The State of Oregon is asking Full Farm CSA to monitor customers' use of Double Up Food Bucks funds very carefully. We can no longer continue providing DUFB funds unless we guarantee customers are spending the funds correctly.
DUFB funds need to be spent only on fruits and vegetables each month. We have not been enforcing these rules in our CSA and need to start doing so in order to be compliant with the funding.
If you elect to continue receiving DUFB funds, we will be auditing your purchases each month to make sure the rules are being followed. We will need to discontinue your DUFB benefit if the State's conditions are not met.
DUFB requires recipients funds are spent on the following items only: YES: fresh, dried, or frozen whole or cut fruits and vegetables without added sugars, fats, oils, or salt. Besides fresh produce and fruit, this includes mushrooms, fresh herbs, nuts, dried beans, and edible plant starts (i.e. tomato plants
