The number of FMNP coupons issuance may vary each year according to available funding.
FMNP coupons are available to obtain from authorized markets as soon as February 1st. The last day to obtain coupons each year is September 30th . Coupons are valid from February 1st (or the day they’re issued) until Nov. 15th of the same calendar year. FMNP coupons expire after November 15th.
Please take into consideration that many farmers markets operate on a weekly basis, and the dates the markets are open may not correspond exactly with the deadlines listed above. Additionally, some farmers markets are seasonal, and their dates of operation affect when customers can obtain the coupon benefits. A full list of authorized FMNP sites (including dates open, addresses and hours) can be found on the Arizona Farmers Market Nutrition Program website.
