Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Lanett, AL, strives to enhance the health and well-being of low-income seniors aged 60 and over by providing them with food assistance through coupons that can be redeemed for fresh, locally grown produce, including fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs. Administered by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, this program ensures that seniors can access nutritious foods directly from local farmers at approved farmers markets and roadside stands. Once approved, participants will receive their food vouchers by mail, enabling them to support local agriculture while enjoying the benefits of fresh, healthy food. Please note, the vouchers must be utilized by November 15 of the year they are issued to maximize this opportunity for improved nutrition and community connection.
