FreshConnect checks can be used on the same products as SNAP.

The Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) helps make fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables more accessible to income-eligible seniors, WIC participants, and their families. FMNP participants receive checks that can be used to purchase produce at participating farmers markets across New York State.

Look for farmers displaying the FMNP sign to use your checks and enjoy nutritious, seasonal foods while supporting local farms!
