Wolf Administration Reminds Seniors and Families about Farmers Market Nutrition Program for Access to Fresh, Local Produce

At the PA Open Air Farmers Market at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, Wolf Administration officials reminded Pennsylvania's low-income seniors and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program recipients to obtain and use their vouchers from the Pennsylvania Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) to purchase fresh and local fruits, vegetables, and herbs from FMNP-approved farmers at farmers markets and farm stands across the commonwealth.

"The Farmers Market Nutrition Program supports the health and wellbeing of seniors and families and helps facilitate even more connections and conversations between local farmers and communities, bringing neighbors together for nourishment," said Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. "I encourage everyone with program vouchers to use them to pick up some local foods and know that you're supporting a local farm family when you do."
