WIC FMNP and Senior FarmShare for low income families with young children
and seniors. FMNP vouchers are deposited in the checking account like
regular checks. Some states require the farmer to cash them in with the
market master. I get a check in May for Senior FarmShare. Both work well
for my farm. FMNP gives me a chance to educate some of the young families
on how to use fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. Senior FarmShare gives me
a chance to talk with folks who used to farm, or just backyard garden, and
learn from them. They tell the best stories.
We did accept MasterCard and Visa but found it not worth it when I went to
full time farming and part time soap making. Few people ever paid with a
credit card so we dropped the account.
