I think Farmers Market Food and Nutrition Program or FMNP/WIC is a 
different program than the one you are describing.  FMNP/WIC coupons can 
only be used at farmers' markets or farm markets, and only for fresh 
fruits and vegetables.  FMNP/WIC cannot be used for any of the foods 
listed above, with the exception of fresh carrots or dried beans and peas.
