Montana Farmers Market Nutrition Program

Welcome to the Montana Farmers Market Nutrition Program. The Farmers Market Nutrition Program is a state-administered federal nutrition program that authorizes Farmers to accept WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program Benefits (FMNP) at farmers' markets, farm locations, and/or roadside stands, in exchange for locally grown produce.   

Participating in this program provides Farmers with additional sales opportunities and promotes the production of locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables.

Montana WIC is implementing a new electronic FMNP (eFMNP) system for the 2025 market season. Montana is partnering with Healthy Together (HT) to complete this transition. This means that WIC participants will begin receiving their annual FMNP benefit through their mobile device or, if they don’t have a smart phone, through a card.

There will be no more managing of FMNP coupons and farmers will receive automatic direct deposits.

Participants will select locally grown produce, they will present the QR code to the farmer, and the farmer finalizes the sale through an app-to-app transaction in the Healthy Together app. Once the transaction is complete information will update in the app for both the participant and farmer.

WIC is hosting office hours over Zoom to answer any questions or provide more information to interested farmers. Please join us if you would like to learn more about the new system.
