The Women & Infant Children (WIC) and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Programs (FMNP) provide benefits to program participants to purchase locally grown produce from farmers markets.

SNAP Market Match
SNAP Market Match helps SNAP shoppers buy additional fruits, vegetables, herbs, and plant starts at more than 100 participating farmers markets across Washington. Learn more on our resource page about SNAP Market Match.
Food Access Forums
Forums are held from October through April on the third Thursday of each month from 12 to 1 pm with the goal of establishing a peer to peer network that will enable market managers, educators, and contractors to communicate regularly and share experiences. This will be an opportunity to highlight successful initiatives, problem solve, and find new ways to collaborate. We welcome farmers market organizers and local, regional and statewide food access partners to highlight successful initiatives that increase healthy eating, provide opportunities to ask questions about SNAP, SNAP Market Match and the Farmers Market Nutrition Program, and find new ways to collaborate with farmers markets.
