    For every $2 that you purchase, you will also receive one $2 Fresh Connect coupon (up to 25 coupons), these expire at the end of each calendar year.

    Spend your tokens and Fresh Connect at any farm stand selling SNAP-eligible foods.

  • New York farmers market nutrition program coupon for $4.00, valid for locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables, issued in 2020, with barcode and official stamp.

    Farmers' Market Nutrition Program

    FMNP checks are each worth $4. Every vegetable and fruit farmer in the Market is required to accept FMNP.

    Pick out the produce that you'd like. Remember, FMNP is only accepted for fresh fruits and vegetables!

    Pay the farmer directly for your produce using the FMNP check just like cash. No change is given, so the farmer may suggest that you pick out additional products to make up the complete $4 value of the check.
