The Arizona Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) is a program to increase awareness of and sales at Farmers’ Markets and increase fruit and vegetable consumption in women and children with low incomes.
Navajo County Public Health Services District is persuing an FMNP Program for WIC participants in Navajo County.
Any person who grows fruits or vegetables in Arizona and sells, or plans to sell, the locally grown produce directly to consumers at Farmers’ Markets may apply to be an FMNP approved grower. Growing space may include land under lease or licenses, provided that the grower who leases the land also carries out the pro-duction (Cultivation, Planting, Harvesting, Etc.)
If you are interested in becoming an Approved FMNP Grower you can attend the free 2 hour traingin March 9, 2016 from 10am-12pm at the Frontier Conference Room in Show Low.
