WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program Vouchers & Carrot Cash

Countryside Farmers’ Markets and partner farmers’ markets proudly accept WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program Vouchers.

How It Works ~

1. WIC distributes vouchers onsite at farmers’ markets starting in mid-July. The schedule is set in early summer. Ask your local WIC clinic or check back here for dates.   
2. Visit the WIC tent at the market on the scheduled date to receive your vouchers. 
3. Spend your vouchers with any farmer. They are valid on fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
4. Visit the market information booth to receive Carrot Cash tokens for even more fruits and vegetables! See below.

We are very pleased to offer Carrot Cash ~ a nutrition incentive WIC clients to spend on fresh, local fruits and vegetables. 

The 2019 program ran from June through August. 2020 planning is under way! Check back here in early summer for details!
