Partner Programs
Produce Prescription (PRx) Program
The Produce Prescription (PRx) Program connects eligible patients to providers who write prescriptions for free fruits and vegetables. Patients are screened for food insecurity and providers issue monthly prescriptions to meet the entire family’s recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables. The Findlay Market Shopping App is partnered with PPM as an aggregation and delivery source for many produce prescriptions within the greater Cincinnati area. Additionally, eligible participants may receive vouchers from PPM that can be redeemed at Findlay Market's Farmers Market and other locations in the city.
Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program
The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) is designed to:
Provide low-income seniors with access to locally grown fruits, vegetables, honey and herbs.
Increase the domestic consumption of agricultural commodities through farmers' markets, roadside stands, and community supported agricultural programs.
Aid in the development of new and additional farmers' markets, roadside stands, and community support agricultural programs.
Those who wish to participate in the program can download an application HERE and mail it in or fill one out at the Education Center located just south of The Shed where our weekend farmers market is. Our Education Associate will be available to assist applicants and active participants at the Education Center during hours of operation.

WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children - better known as the WIC program - serves to safeguard the health of low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating including breastfeeding promotion and support, and referrals to health care.
WIC’s $5 Farmers Market Nutrition vouchers are able to be used at the Findlay Farmers Market. For more information on WIC visit here.
