The Milwaukee Farmers Market Coalition (MFMC) is working to make sure that SNAP/EBT programs at farmers markets operate in a safe manner this season.
“With an increased number of folks applying for FoodShare during the COVID-19 pandemic, we want to make sure farmers markets across Milwaukee County are safe places for shoppers to use their benefits,” said Extension Healthy Communities Coordinator Meg Kilkenny.
Milwaukee County farmers markets are opening with physical distancing measures implemented to keep market staff, volunteers, vendors, and shoppers safe.
While farmers markets might look different this year, they are more important than ever as spaces for fresh food access throughout Milwaukee County.
The Milwaukee Farmers Market Coalition is co-facilitated by FoodWIse Extension Milwaukee County and Fondy Food Center.
