Can a State agency sign an agreement with the FMNP rather than individual farmers as vendors?
No, assuming you mean signing an agreement with the farmers market rather than the farmer. Although under the FMNP State agencies are given an option to establish the agreement with the farmer or farmers market, this provision was established at a time when most FMNP State agencies were issuing coupons that were turned into a market manager for payment. Now most FMNP State agencies are using checks which farmers deposit directly into their bank accounts which negate the need for an agreement with the farmers market. Also, even though FMNP State agencies may establish agreements with farmers markets, the farmers market must establish agreements with individual farmers. As such, an agreement with the farmer is always required.
