Fall produce is still in great supply. It’s not too late to gather those receipts and other small tasks to be reimbursed for fresh Missouri-grown produce purchased to serve the children in your program. Simply connect with a vendor at your local farmer’s market or a local farmer to purchase to support Missouri agriculture and increase healthy habits for young children. Click here to view the webinar recording with Lexi Jose from the Missouri Department of Agriculture. In the 20-minute video, Lexi reviews the requirements to be reimbursed for produce purchased from a Missouri farmer’s market or directly from a Missouri farmer. If you have questions about the reimbursement process contact Lexi at the Missouri Department of Agriculture. She can be reached at Alexis.jose@mda.mo.gov.
