The purpose of WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) is to provide, unprepared, locally grown fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs for the nutritional health of New Jersey’s women, infants, children, and to expand the awareness and use of the local farmers’ market. The number of WIC participants to be served each year is determined by the annual funding.
Each eligible WIC participant receives a total of $20.00 for the season to purchase fruits, vegetable, and herbs from authorized farmers. Participants receive their FMNP checks during their regular WIC visit to the local WIC agency (click below to see chart of WIC local agencies). Grocery stores and other food markets cannot accept WIC FMNP checks. The FMNP checks are issued one time for the entire season, starting from June 1 to September 30, and the Program operates from June 1 to November 30 each year. For additional information regarding WIC FMNP, please contact your
local WIC agency.
