Over the summer and through the early fall, Connecticut shoppers can turn to farmers’ markets throughout the state for fresh, local fruit and vegetables. These markets participate in WIC’s Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (FMNP). According to the CTDepartment of Agriculture, eligible WIC recipients receive $15 in checks (five checks for $3 each) per market season to use at FMNP authorized farmers’ markets. The department recently posted on its website an updated list of farmers’ markets around the state, including 106 that are FMNP authorized.
