Our WIC program here in central lower Michigan also gives coupons out 
for the farmer's market in my county.  There is another, much larger 
farmer's market in the next county over but I do not know if WIC does 
the same there. 

I belong to a small co-op/buying club, we purchase organic produce and 
groceries several times per month.  I know we accept food stamps (is it 
called a bridge card?  I'm not 100% sure) and the state told us that we 
could do that as long as the total came to at least $100 per month - 
which we have no trouble meeting at all.  There are quite a few young 
families who belong to our co-op, there are quite a few opportunities to 
get volunteer hours in so that the member mark up fee is lower.
