Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Hartselle, AL, aims to enhance the well-being of low-income seniors aged 60 and older by providing valuable food assistance through coupon vouchers. Administered by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, this program enables eligible seniors to purchase fresh, nutritious foods, including fruits, vegetables, honey, and herbs, directly from local farmers at approved farmers markets and roadside stands. Once approved, participants receive their vouchers by mail, which are valid until November 15 of the year issued, ensuring that seniors have access to wholesome food options while supporting local farmers. By connecting seniors with fresh produce, SFMNP fosters healthy eating and strengthens our community ties.
