Project Fresh

Farmers

In Michigan, the Michigan Department of Community Health – Women, Infants and Children’s (WIC) Program is responsible for authorizing individual farmers, farmers’ markets, and roadside stands. Only farmers, farmers’ markets, and roadside stands authorized by WIC may accept and redeem Project FRESH coupons. Individuals, who exclusively sell produce grown by someone else, such as wholesale distributors, cannot be authorized to participate in the FMNP.

For more information on becoming a Project FRESH certified farmer, contact Karla Stratton at the Michigan Department of Community health – Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Division at strattonka@michigan.gov or (517) 335-8625.
