Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Foley, AL, is dedicated to enhancing the health and wellbeing of low-income seniors aged 60 and older by providing vital food assistance through nutrition-focused vouchers. Administered by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, this program enables seniors to purchase fresh, eligible foods—such as fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs—directly from local farmers at approved farmers markets and roadside stands. Upon application approval, participants will receive food vouchers by mail, which must be used by November 15 of the calendar year. By connecting seniors with the bounty of local agriculture, SFMNP not only fosters healthier eating but also supports community farmers and strengthens local economies.
