Every year, eligible American Red Cross WIC families can receive a special $30 check booklet to purchase fruits, vegetables and herbs from local farmers markets. The farmers market checks may be used in addition to your monthly fruits and vegetable benefits.
Our 2023 farmers market season has ended. Check back here for our update beginning July 2024.
Families with currently certified American Red Cross WIC participants (women, infants 6 months of age or older and children through the month of their 5th birthday).
We are out of farmers market checks for this year. We are glad you are interested in our WIC Farmers Market Program.
We receive a limited supply of farmers market checks each year. We hope to offer these checks again beginning July 2024.
You CAN buy fresh fruit, fresh vegetables and cut edible herbs.
You CANNOT buy honey, eggs, milk, cheese, nuts, meat, fish, flowers, plants, baked goods or processed foods.
