How do I join?
There are a number of participating health providers who can make a referral for the Mid-Ohio Farmacy program. If your provider is a participant, ask if you qualify for Mid-Ohio Farmacy at your next office visit, and start using your Mid-Ohio Farmacy benefits to get fresh food right away.
What do I get?
You can bring your card once a week to any of our locations and take home fresh produce. When you come for your first shopping visit, just let the folks at the check in desk know how many people live in your home and you can get food for that number of people.
If there is more than one Farmacy member in a household, you will only receive one service for the household, not one service per Farmacy member. It’s important to note that the Farmacy card does not grant double or extra food compared to other shoppers.
How much does it cost?
There is no cost to you the customer! Just show up with your Mid-Ohio Farmacy card at one of our locations and you can shop for fresh produce for your household at no cost.

I got a Mid-Ohio Farmacy card from my doctor. What do I do now?
Go shopping! Bring your card, along with a photo ID and proof of residency* to one of our participating Mid-Ohio Farmacy locations during operating hours and pick up fresh produce for your household.
*This document should have your name and current address, dated within the last 90 days. This could be a utility bill, a lease agreement, a medical bill, or a Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Announcement.
How often can I get fresh produce through Mid-Ohio Farmacy?
You can shop for produce once a week at any of our locations.
Can I also get food for my family?
Yes! When you come for your first shopping visit, just let the folks at the check-in desk know how many people live in your home and you can get food for that number of people.
Can I send someone to pick up my produce for me?
Yes! You can send a proxy to get your food for you and your household. Just click here and fill out the form, or write a letter that includes the information on the form and have the person designated to pick up your produce bring it with them when they come to the agency site.
Can I enroll in the program if I am homeless?
Yes. You can still enroll through your health provider and have access to our pantries weekly!
