Wic office sometimes has a farmers market. U can call and find out the dates. They sometimes advertise in the Lakewood Shopper.
Going a little further...u can go vegetable picking at Hallocks or Dewolfs in New Egypt (just make sure to bring your wic folder to use the checks)

I'm assuming from the lack of response that there are not many that receive or use the farmer's market checks...

There used to be some really nice markets that took the checks and were nearby. Over Covid they stopped taking. I got the checks this year but it was a mistake because there's no great way to redeem them.

Are there seperate checks that WIC sends out? Besides the benefits on the card?
