Get Fresh! Nutrition Education Video Series for WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP)
Get Fresh! aims to increase the implementation and effectiveness of nutrition education in the WIC FMNP with innovative teaching tools that can be used in both WIC clinic waiting rooms and group teaching sessions. Get Fresh! consists of recipe cards, video resources, and ideas for use in nutrition education.

Recipe Cards
Eight colorful recipe cards were produced in both English and Spanish. Each double-sided card features two recipes for a farmers' market fruit or vegetable. Cards also include cooking and storing tips, nutrient information, and suggestions for fun ways to involve children in preparing foods at home. The recipe cards can be used alone or in conjunction with the video series. Colorful versions of the cards can be downloaded here.

sided recipe cards on colored paper). See the instructions for more

The Get Fresh! Project
These novel teaching tools are the result of a 1998 WIC Special Project Grant awarded by the USDA to the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets. The project is a collaboration of the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets, the NYS Department of Health, and the Division of Nutritional Sciences/Cornell Cooperative Extension, Cornell University. The video resources were developed in conjunction with Insights International, Inc. These teaching tools are now being integrated into the ongoing program activities of the WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program in New York State.
