Tioga Opportunities, Inc. is excited to announce the return of the WIC Farmers\u2019 Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) for the 2025 season. This valuable program provides eligible families with coupons to purchase fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables at participating farmers’ markets and farm stands throughout the region.<\/p>\n
Pregnant, postpartum, or breastfeeding women, infants over the age of six months, and children up to the age of five who are enrolled in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program are eligible to receive coupons. Each coupon booklet includes five $5 coupons for a total value of $25.<\/p>\n
