Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Killen, AL is dedicated to enhancing the nutritional wellbeing of low-income seniors aged 60 and older. Sponsored by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, this vital program provides food vouchers that enable seniors to purchase fresh, locally-grown produce such as fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs directly from farmers at approved farmers markets and roadside stands. By connecting seniors with nutritious food options, SFMNP not only promotes healthy eating but also supports local agriculture. Approved participants will receive their vouchers by mail, which must be used by November 15 of the year they are issued, ensuring access to fresh and healthy foods throughout the season.
