Probably varies from state to state. In New York, each producer fills out a
farm plan - how many feet or acre of what you intend to plant and what
months you will harvest it. Also fill out a simple NCR form that the market
manager signs and sends into the state (market manager keeps the farm plan).
The state then sends the vendor a stamp, stamp pad to "endorse" the coupons,
and instructions. Once you are on the state's list, they send you the
application each year, but you still turn it into your market manager. Have
to do this for each market (not each week, but each different farmers
market).

Unless there is a problem vendor, that's it.

I do it for my main market. The only thing is that since I am a
participating vendor, our market manager (a cheesemaker so not in the coupon
program) signs my form, but I send it in with the rest.

Where there is a paid manager, I assume they would do it. When not, it falls
to someone who wants to be able to take the coupons to make sure it gets
done.

>Thanks so much for the discussion on accepting Food Stamps and Wic at
Farmers Market. Has anyone out there been the one who set that up for
your market? Just how is it done?
