Market Mommas Club

Market Mommas Club is a breastfeeding incentive program open to lactating parents and parents-to-be who plan to breastfeed and are currently receiving or eligible for Louisiana Medicaid and/or WIC benefits.   

Market Mommas Club members attend a breastfeeding support group with NOLA Baby Cafe, Cafe au Lait, or Cafe con Leche. After enrollment through the Crescent City Farmers Market or their breastfeeding support group and attending the monthly support group, club members are then eligible to receive their incentive.

Members receive incentives each month for up to six months or until the program ends. These incentives are redeemable at all Crescent City Farmers Market locations.

We are currently enrolling for the first cohort of 2024. Click here to complete the registration form to enroll in the program.
