The Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) for Women and Infant Children (WIC) and Seniors can be used to purchase fruit, vegetables, and fresh cut herbs at farmers markets. (Seniors can also buy honey.) Eligible families receive the FMNP benefits from their WIC clinic or local senior agency and can spend them directly with approved farm vendors at participating farmers markets between June 1 and October 31.
