About this service
We collaborate with community organizations and BCAFM member farmers markets to provide farmers market coupons to lower-income families, pregnant women and seniors.
The Farmers Market Nutrition Coupon Program (FMNCP) is a healthy eating initiative that supports farmers markets and strengthens food security across British Columbia. Community partner organizations provide coupons to lower-income families, pregnant women and seniors participating in their food literacy programs. Coupons can be spent at all BCAFM member farmers markets that participate in the FMNCP, and can be used to purchase vegetables, fruits, nuts, eggs, dairy, cut herbs, meat and fish.
Each household enrolled in the program is eligible to receive a minimum of $21/week in coupons. The program runs throughout the summer months when produce is most abundant across the province. In 2020, coupons can be used at any participating BC Farmers Market from June 8th November 15th.
Who can use it?
