FARMERS MARKET NUTRITION PROGRAM
The Nutrition Program (FMNP) provides checks for WIC and Senior participants to purchase fresh, unprepared, locally grown fruits and vegetables from June through November. This Farmers Market program expands the awareness of the variety of local fruits and vegetables that can be found at farmers markets and has the potential to increase farmer sales. There are two United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs available for farmers to participate in: The Farmers Market Nutrition Program for WIC (FMNP- WIC) and Seniors (SFMNP). Farmers must apply to be authorized through an application on the Maryland OneStop website.
