WIC Vouchers - Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP)

  • Qualifying WIC participants (pregnant, breastfeeding, postpartum women, infants age 4 months and older, and children ages 1-5), bring a printed copy of your current WIC shopping list to Cowtown Farmers Market on Saturdays from May- September to register for FMNP.
  • You will receive $30 worth of vouchers (per eligible client), which can be used to buy locally grown whole fruits, vegetables, and herbs from a participating farmer.
  • No cash change is given for vouchers. Lost, stolen or expired vouchers cannot be replaced.
  • If you cannot attend a participating Farmers Market, you may send an authorized representative, called a proxy. The proxy must bring a copy of your WIC Shopping List and a note, signed and dated by you, that says they can be issued vouchers on your behalf. The proxy will purchase eligible foods on your behalf and deliver them to you. One person may be a proxy for no more than two households.

Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

In 2024, TAFB will be able to offer the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) through TDA! This program will provide qualifying low-income adults age 60+ with $50 worth of vouchers to use for vegetables, fruit and honey at our partnered Farmers Markets. This program is similar to the Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) for families receiving WIC benefits. Vouchers will be issued for SFMNP from May-September on a first come-first served basis.
