WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program

Information about the WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program

Farmers’ Market coupons offer current WIC participants over 4 months old $30 that can be used to buy fresh vegetables and fruits at approved farmers’ markets and farmstands in Massachusetts. These coupons are separate from your regular WIC benefits and cannot be used at the grocery store.

If you are interested in receiving Farmers’ Market coupons, please contact your WIC office for more information on distribution details. This is a first-come, first-served program and the availability of coupons is not guaranteed for everyone who is eligible or signs up.

Some markets may be operating differently or have other safety precautions in place, so it’s a good idea to call ahead or check the website so you know what to expect. Remember that you can ask a friend or family member to shop for you.
