California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Office of Farm to Fork is accepting applications for the 2027 California Nutrition Incentive Program (CNIP) Expansion – Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (WIC FMNP) and Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP). CDFA is seeking project proposals from qualified entities to distribute CNIP incentives at Certified Farmers’ Markets to purchase California-grown fresh fruits and vegetables, and provide support, outreach and technical assistance for WIC, WIC FMNP and SFMNP shoppers and market vendors utilizing electronic Farmers’ Market Cards. Projects that reach low-access areas and low-income populations, particularly communities where a large proportion of the population is eligible for nutrition benefits and experience high rates of diet-related diseases, will be prioritized.
