Farm Direct Nutrition Program
Spanish Russian
Farm Direct is a summer program for WIC families. The program provides extra money to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs from local farmers. Farm Direct supports healthy eating and local farms.
Each WIC participant can receive Farm Direct Dollars one time each year. Farm Direct Dollars are extra and do not replace food benefits on the eWIC card.
Farm Direct Dollars may be used at approved farmers markets, farm stands, and u-pick farms in Oregon during the summer season.
Farm Direct Dollars must be used by November 30, 2026. A limited number are available each year and are given out first come, first served while supplies last. Program rules apply.
