Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) is dedicated to enhancing the nutrition of low-income seniors aged 60 and over in Harvest, AL, by providing essential food assistance through the distribution of coupons. Administered by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, this vital program allows participants to use these vouchers to purchase fresh, locally grown produce, including fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs directly from farmers at approved farmers markets and roadside stands. By encouraging healthier eating habits and supporting local agriculture, SFMNP promotes both nutritional health and community well-being. Approved applicants will receive their food vouchers by mail, which must be utilized by November 15 of the year they are issued, ensuring access to fresh, wholesome food for those who need it most.
