  1. WFS indicates WIC Fresh Start, WFSV WIC Fresh Start plus Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program vouchers, EHE online existing health education, EHEV online existing health education plus Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program vouchers, FMNP Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program, FM farmers’ market, FV fruit and vegetable(s), LGSI locally grown, seasonal items. Least square means and standard errors were derived from linear mixed effects models that controlled for baseline measures of each outcome and pregnancy status, breastfeeding status, receiving assistance other than WIC, and social desirability trait. Means highlighted in bold differ significantly from one another. Differences consistent with a priori hypotheses (WFSV > WFS, EHE, and EHEV) are reported. Knowledge of the FMNP: WFSV > EHE, EHEV (posttest); WFSV > WFS, EHE; WFS > EHEV (3-month follow-up); WFSV > WFS, EHE (6-month follow-up). FV food safety skills: WFSV > EHE, EHEV (posttest); WFSV > EHE, EHEV (3-month follow-up); WFS > EHE, EHEV (6-month follow-up). Farmers’ market-specific knowledge: WFSV > WFS, EHE (posttest); WFSV > WFS, EHE (3-month follow-up). Familiarity with locally grown, seasonal items: WFSV > EHEV (6-month follow-up). Knowledge of locally grown, seasonal items found at farmers’ markets in July: WFSV > EHEV (posttest). Food-specific knowledge: WFSV > EHE, EHEV (posttest); WFSV > WFS, EHE, EHEV (3-month follow-up); WFSV > EHEV (6-month follow-up). Farmers’ market FV preparation skills: WFSV > EHEV (posttest)
