WIC Monthly Fruit & Vegetable (CVB) Signs do NOT Replace Blue FMNP Signs During FMNP Season
As we have visited markets around the state during this FMNP season, we noticed some growers who have been posting the yellow WIC CVB year-round signs at their booths instead of the blue "WIC/Senior FMNP Welcome Here" signs. The "WIC Fruit & Vegetable Benefits Welcome All Year" signs are intended to be on display outside of the June 1 - October 31 window, for those growers selling at markets and farm stores that are approved outside of the FMNP season. Please be sure to hang up the blue WIC/Senior FMNP Signs until October 31.

Senior FMNP Resources
As we enter the fourth month of this five-month Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) season, local programs continue to issue out their last remaining program benefits. Through August, local programs have issued over 97% of available SFMNP benefits to eligible participants.
This means there are over 36,100 SFMNP participants throughout the state that have been issued benefits to purchase fresh, local produce, cut herbs, and honey!
