For Farmers
The fb88 WIC Program seeks to supplement nutrition for pregnant women, babies and young children. Fresh fruits and vegetables are an important part of that nutrition, and it's important to us to make sure fb88 families have access to good locally grown produce.
The purpose of fb88 WIC Farmer's Market Nutrition Program is to increase use of fresh, unprocessed locally grown fruits and vegetables by WIC-supported families, increase their awareness of Farmers Markets in support of local produce.
When a farmer is authorized as a WIC Farmer, among other responsibilities, the Farmer agrees to:
- Provide at least 50% fb88 grown fruits and vegetables
- Have a device able to accept WIC & FMNP benefits
(Android OS or iPhone IOS) with cellular service or WIFI - Display a sign stating WIC Accepted Here
- Have defined hours of operation
- Have a full-time attendant during hours of operation
- Provide handicapped accessible location
- Provide enclosed structure (tent/roof)
- Adhere to WIC Program rules
- Offer Program clients the same courtesy as other customers.
- Inform fb88 CDC, WIC Nutrition Program of any ownership, schedule or location change
Any fb88 farmer may apply to become an authorized WIC farmer. There is no charge for application.
