Food Assistance Programs for Farmers Markets
Food Assistance Programs
Produce Plus
D.C.’s city-wide farmers market food access program. Customers receiving any federal benefit (SNAP, WIC, TANF, SSI Disability, Medicaid, Medicare QMB) can get $10 to spend on produce up to twice a week.
Produce Rx
Doctors in D.C. write prescriptions for fresh fruits and vegetables that can be redeemed for free produce to help at-risk patients manage diet-related chronic illnesses.
SFMNP (Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program)
he SFMNP provides fresh fruits and vegetables to senior citizens of the District of Columbia who are eligible for and participate in the CSFP/Grocery Plus. The program expands the awareness and use of farmers’ markets, and also supports and promotes the daily consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables.
WIC Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program
The WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) allows WIC participants to use their WIC Vegetables and Fruit Cash-Value Check (CVC) to buy fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs from approved farmers’ market vendors.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – SNAP/Food Stamps
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the new name for the federal Food Stamp Program. The Districts’ SNAP program helps low-income residents and families buy the food they need for good health. You can apply for benefits by completing a State application form. Benefits are provided on an electronic card that is used like an ATM card and accepted at most grocery stores and some farmers’ markets.
