Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Attalla, AL, is dedicated to enhancing the nutritional health of low-income seniors aged 60 and above by providing food vouchers for fresh, locally sourced fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs. Administered by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, this vital program connects seniors to local farmers through approved markets and roadside stands, ensuring they have access to healthy food options directly from the source. Once approved, participants receive their vouchers by mail, which must be utilized by November 15 of the same calendar year, empowering seniors to make nutritious choices and support local agriculture in their community.
