In partnership with the Gabriola Agricultural Association Co-op, we are the local community partners for the BC Farmer's Market Nutrition Coupon program (FMNCP). The FMNCP is a healthy eating initiative that supports farmers’ markets and strengthens food security across British Columbia.
Coupons are provided to lower-income families and seniors participating in their food literacy programs.
Coupons can be spent at all BCAFM member farmers’ markets that participate in the FMNCP, and can be used to purchase vegetables and some additional food items within criteria. The program will run from June 8 - November 15, 2020 and Agi Association Markets are tailored to meet public health guidelines.
For more information on participating in the local program or assistance with the application, please contact the PHC Food Programs Coordinator:
