It's Farmers' Market Season again! Last year, Ocean County's WIC Program introduced a new process to request Farmer's Market benefits. The WIC Program is continuing to provide benefits to eligible WIC participants for the purchase of locally grown, unprepared fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs through a survey sent to current WIC participants.

This opportunity is available to eligible:

• Pregnant women
• Postpartum women
• Children aged 2-5

Farmers' market benefits are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each eligible WIC participant will receive a one-time $30 benefit in the form of a QR code which can be redeemed for fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs cultivated by local farmers. The Farmers' Market benefits are separate from regular WIC benefits.

If you receive WIC benefits from Ocean County and are interested in requesting 2025 Farmers' Market Benefits, please complete the survey by clicking here. Please make sure you click through all survey windows until you get to the "thank you" message.

Requests for these benefits will not be taken over the phone or through e-mail.
