As the winter months come to a close, mushrooms are a great way of getting Vitamin D in before spring rolls around! ๐Ÿ„๐ŸŸซ

Mushrooms are packed with nutrients like soluble fiber, B vitamins, and potassium. They are also rich in copper and protein, which is critical for building nerve and bone health! ๐Ÿ’•

Mushrooms can also be included in meals in many different ways. Try incorporating mushrooms into salads, stir-frys, or add to meat and sauce blends! Check out these recipes to learn more about how to add mushrooms into your meals: https://www.budgetbytes.com/mushroom-recipes/

Attention SNAP shoppers:

The Produce Perks Program will be pausing in early 2026. Unfortunately, that means you will not be able to earn the Produce Perks SNAP match beginning April 1st, 2026. You can still spend your EBT at our farmersโ€™ market, but you will not receive the additional green Produce Perks tokens.

This is a program pause, not an end.

We know how much this program helps stretch your grocery budget, and weโ€™re right there with you hoping for a quick return. If you want to stay in the loop, text โ€œPAUSEโ€ to (513) 643-4264 to get updates directly from the source.

Omega-3 fatty acids are a great way of supporting heart health and can be found in many WIC-approved foods! You can find them in:

๐ŸŸCanned fish like salmon and tuna
๐ŸณEggs and soy products like tofu
๐Ÿฅ‘Brussels sprouts and avocados

Omega-3 fats have also been shown to be important during pregnancy, as they are important building blocks of the fetal brain and retina. These foods can help reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and support eye health! ๐Ÿ’•
