Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Greenville, AL, is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of low-income seniors aged 60 and over by providing them with food assistance in the form of coupons. These vouchers enable eligible seniors to purchase fresh, locally grown produce, including fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs, directly from farmers at approved farmers markets and roadside stands. Administered by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, this program not only supports nutrition but also fosters connections between seniors and local agriculture. Approved participants will receive their vouchers by mail, which must be used by November 15 of the same calendar year, promoting both healthy eating and community engagement.
