Women, Infant & Children (WIC)

Use your Farmer's Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) benefit and your monthly Fruits and Vegetables Benefit at the farmers' market!

Your WIC Card with the QR code makes it simple. Scan once, bring home more of what your family loves-farm fresh produce.

• The Farmers' Market benefit gives you an extra $30 this season to spend on fresh fruits, vegetables and fresh cut herbs.
• Use the California WIC APP to check your FMNP balance anytime.

WIC will issue the Farmers' Market benefit starting June 5th through September 30. Use your benefit by November 30. Find a market near you by visiting MyFamily.WIC.ca.gov/Home/WICFarmersMarket
