Produce Bonus for Seniors FMNP & eWIC
Get More Fresh Produce with Your Senior or WIC Farmers’ Market Card!
Do you have a Senior or WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) card? You can get a FREE $15 bonus each month to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables at participating farmers’ markets!
The Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association (PCFMA) has received a grant from the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) to provide this monthly bonus. This means more fresh, local produce for Senior and WIC FMNP recipients at all PCFMA, Coastside, and Fresh Approach farmers' markets.
How to Receive Your Monthly Bonus
Once a month, simply bring your Senior or WIC FMNP card to the information booth at any participating farmers’ market. We'll scan your card, and you'll receive $15 worth of "scrip" (vouchers) specifically for fresh fruits and vegetables. You can use this scrip at any PCFMA, Coastside, or Fresh Approach farmers' market.
Important Note on Senior FMNP/eWIC Cards
Watch how to use your eWIC card at the farmers' market!
California is moving from paper vouchers to an electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card system for WIC and FMNP. While this bonus program currently uses "scrip" at the information booth, farmers are adopting technology to accept these benefits directly via your Senior FMNP/eWIC card. We're working to make this transition as smooth as possible for you and our farmers.
