WIC & SFMNP
Many produce vendors accept WIC and SFMNP. These vendors have signs posted.
Starting 2023, WIC is digital. No checks! No minimums! WIC customers can now use their cash balance at the farmers market!
Inform vendors you will be paying with WIC at the beginning of your transaction. At checkout, the Vendor scans the QR code on the customer's WIC card and enters the purchase total. The customer confirms the amount and enters their PIN, and the transaction is submitted. If there are inadequate benefits for the transaction to go through, an error will appear.
