Instructions on how to use the card, check the balance, etc will be provided when the card is issued.

Farmers’ Market Tips 
Only farmers displaying the Certified Farmers poster can accept FMNP benefits. Visit an Authorized Redemption Locations (ct.gov) to find a certified farmer.
- Use your benefits to buy locally grown fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and cut herbs.
- You must use your benefits between June 1 and November 30. Some markets close for the season before November 30 so be sure to check the Farmers’ Market list or ask at the market.
