Farm Direct
Spanish Russian
Farm Direct is a summer program that gives extra checks to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs from local farmers. Each WIC participant can get these checks once per year. They are extra and do not replace the food you already get on your eWIC card. Some rules apply.
The 1st or 2nd cardholder can pick up checks on the days and times below. Don't forget to bring your ID. Checks and supplies are given out first-come, first-served, while supplies last.
