How to use your farmers market checks
First—Watch this video on the California WIC YouTube channel. The information in this video will help you keep fruits and vegetables fresh longer. This video will also explain many important things about using your farmers market checks.
Next—After you watch the video, make a choice:
* If you want to receive your farmers market booklets at a farmers market, visit one of the 3 farmers markets where WIC will be distributing them.
* If you want to receive your booklets by mail, complete the farmers market apply page or call (424) 529-5269. Tell the WIC counselor that you have watched the video. Then ask her to mail your booklet to your home.
By mail—beginning June 1st We will begin distributing booklets by mail June 1st. If you ask for your booklet to be mailed, you will receive:
• your farmers market booklet with three checks. Each check will be worth $10.
• a folder to store your farmers market booklet. You will see information about how to use your checks on this folder.
• a list of the WIC authorized farmers market locations where you can go to use your checks.
At farmers markets beginning June 1st On June 1st, we will begin giving out farmers market booklets at nearby farmers markets.
