Women, Infants, & Children

It's a federally funded, state administered program. The farmer's
market program is small part of it. They try to get better nutrition
to children, starting with pregnancy. The idea of the farmers market
portion is to get the clients to consume more fresh produce and also to
subsidize local truck farmers.
