Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP)
The Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) is a USDA-funded nutrition grant program that is administered by MDA in conjunction with the Maryland Department of Health and the Maryland Department of Aging. State agencies utilize funds to support participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and low-resource seniors who participate in the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. Participants in both programs receive an annual voucher of either $30 for WIC or $50 for seniors to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at farmers markets between June 1 and November 30.
In Maryland, all of the 100+ authorized farmers markets throughout the State have at least one farmer who accepts FMNP. Nearly 200 farmers are authorized to sell in farmers markets or at their farm stand. See the directory below to find a farmers market near you!
For farmers interested in participating in the Farmers Market Nutrition Program:

2. Attend an FMNP training. Click here to register for virtual training dates in March. Please reach out to Sara Servin, sara.servin@maryland.gov if you need to schedule for a different date.

In 2024, FMNP transitioned from a check-based system to a digital one, using the Healthy Together app. Please note that it is required for participating farmers to download the app in order to participate in the program and accept S/FMNP benefits.

Maryland Farmers Market Directory MapView Maryland farmers markets and federal benefit programs on this online map.
The directory lists farmers markets in each county and Baltimore City and provides information on markets' location, hours, manager contact information, and accepted food assistance programs.
To be listed in Maryland's Farmers Market Directory, a farmers market must have been in operation for at least two seasons, have at least two farmers (fruit, vegetable, meat, dairy, eggs), and have at least one farmer who accepts the Farmers Market Nutrition Program benefits and/or SNAP. If your market meets these qualifications and you would like your farmers market to be added to the directory, please fill out this
form.
Note: MDA will continue to update the farmers market directory throughout the season. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
