On WIC? Get Extra Farmers-Market Money Just for Fresh Produce
Farmers Market Nutrition Program for WIC participants and seniors
Who
Eligible WIC participants and eligible seniors receiving CSFP services.
What to do
Start here: Ask your WIC clinic or CSFP provider about current FMNP coupons and use the state market list to find participating vendors.
Eligibility: Contact a local WIC office or CSFP office to determine whether you qualify and how current-season coupons are distributed.
What you get
New York's Farmers' Market Nutrition Program provides produce coupons through WIC and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program for eligible seniors.
Benefit: Coupons for locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables at participating farmers' markets during the program season.
Possible value: The coupon amount and distribution process are set separately by the WIC or CSFP program and can change by season.
Good to know
Important: WIC and senior FMNP are separate pathways; do not assume a WIC benefit or a senior benefit is automatically available without current-program enrollment.
Availability: The state lists the seasonal program as June 1 through November 30.
Why people miss it: The benefit is seasonal and is distributed through WIC or CSFP rather than a separate general application.
