Nutrition assistance program benefits are becoming widely accepted outside of grocery stores across the country, and this trend is strongly supported in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Shopping at farmers markets is a great way to utilize one’s nutrition assistance dollars – as the consumer benefits from increased availability of fresh, local produce and the farmers receive a wider and loyal customer base. However, many are not aware that their benefits can be used at farmers markets, so the Milwaukee Farmers Market Connection put together a flyer in order to advance their goal of providing fresh, local food for all of Milwaukee. See the attached PDF to see which markets in Milwaukee accept WIC, Quest/SNAP/EBT/FoodShare, and SFMNP benefits.
