Farmers' Market Nutrition
Program (FMNP) |
|
FMNP was established in 1993 to offer fresh fruits and vegetables
from farmers' markets to WIC participants; and to enlarge consumers'
understanding and use of farmers' markets.
-
In
Pennsylvania the FMNP operates in 67 counties at 769 market and
farm stand sites.
-
The
program provides checks to WIC participants to buy locally grown
fresh fruits and vegetables at their local farmer's market each
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.
