Farmers' Market Nutritional Program
FMNP was established in 1993 to provide fresh fruits and vegetables from farmers' markets to
WIC participants; and to expand consumers' awareness and use of farmers' markets.
- In Pennsylvania the FMNP operates in 67 counties at 976 market and farm
stand sites.
- The program provides checks to WIC participants to purchase locally grown
fresh fruits and vegetables at their local farmer's market every year between June 1 and November 30.
- Pregnant and postpartum women, breastfeeding mothers, and children over three and four years of age
are eligible for this program.
