Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Deatsville, AL, is dedicated to improving access to fresh, locally grown produce for low-income seniors aged 60 and older. Administered by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, this vital program provides food vouchers that can be used to purchase nutritious foods, including fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs, directly from local farmers at designated farmers markets and roadside stands. By fostering connections between seniors and local agriculture, SFMNP not only enhances food assistance but also promotes healthy eating while supporting the community's farmers. Approved participants will receive their vouchers by mail, which must be used at Farmers Market Authority approved locations by November 15 of the calendar year received, ensuring that our elder community enjoys the benefits of fresh, seasonal produce.
