WIC Farmer's Market


The Alaska Farmer's Market Program runs during the summer months through October. Each eligible WIC partcipant receives five Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) checks in the amount of $5.00 each, a total of $25.00 per summer. The warrants can be used to buy Alaska grown vegetables and fruits at any authorized Farmer's Market or farm stand. These FMNP checks cannot be used at retail grocery stores.

Take advantage of this opportunity to visit your Farmer's Market and learn more about vegetables and fruits grown in Alaska. Farmers are glad to share information about storage and preparation of their produce, and may even be able to provide you with recipes.

Make visiting the the Farmer's Market a fun, family outing. Help your children make the connection between produce in the grocery store and the people that work to provide it.

Your WIC clinic can provide information about Farmer's Markets in your area and their dates and hours of operation, or you can check the list of Famer's Markets below:
