WIC goes to Market!



This past weekend WIC visited the Spotsylvania Farmer's Market where we had a chance to mingle with local farmers and food crafters who bring their finest fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, baked goods and plants out to the commuter lot at Gordon Road and Rte. 3. What a great day!

Spotsylvania has the largest Farmer's Market in the region and this year they have added the ability to accept SNAP benefits! Simply take your SNAP EBT card to the Market Manager's stand and choose a dollar amount to exchange for tokens which can be used at any of the farm stands just like cash!

We also met a local Doctor who started her own website to push fresh fruits and veggies with kid-friendly (and kid tested!) easy and unique recipes. Get some fresh ideas from Doctor Yum!

WIC is out and about in the community all the time, so check our Upcoming Events tab on the left to see where you can find us next!
