Summary
The Farmers to Families Act amends the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 to allow participants in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program to use their benefits at community supported agriculture programs, farmers' markets, food hubs, and directly from farmers. The bill requires states to enable electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card access for these purchases within 18 months and mandates the Secretary of Agriculture to establish qualified payment device standards, create an online application portal for farmers, and establish a Technical Assistance Center to help farmers' markets and farmers comply with federal nutrition program requirements.
