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 and can be used to purchase vegetables, fruits, nuts, eggs, dairy, cut herbs, meat, and fish.
Each household enrolled in the program could receive $27/week in coupons. The program runs throughout the summer months when produce is most abundant across the province. Coupons can be used at any participating BC Farmers’ Market.
