You’re invited: Please join MIFMA for our inaugural Spring Food Access Kick Off Meeting! We’ll go over what to expect for the 2026 market season, focusing on program updates, reminders, and other important changes from SNAP, Double Up Food Bucks, WIC Produce Connections, and Senior Project Fresh.
This meeting is intended for market managers, staff, and farm stand operators who are already approved to accept food assistance benefits at their site and/or have begun the application process to do so.
If you’re looking for an introduction to food assistance programs at the farmers market, or have not yet started the application process, we encourage you to explore the resources on our website here.
