Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Irvington, Alabama, is dedicated to enhancing the nutrition of low-income seniors aged 60 and older by providing valuable food assistance through coupons for fresh, locally grown produce. Administered by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, this program empowers seniors to purchase eligible foods such as fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs directly from farmers at approved farmers markets and roadside stands. By connecting seniors with healthy food options and supporting local agriculture, SFMNP fosters community well-being and encourages healthy eating. Approved participants will receive food vouchers by mail, which must be utilized by November 15 of the year they are issued, ensuring that our seniors have access to nourishing foods right from their local growers.
