Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Mobile, AL, is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of low-income seniors aged 60 and older by providing vital food assistance through coupons that can be utilized at local farmers markets and roadside stands. Administered by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, this initiative empowers seniors to access fresh, nutritious foods, including fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs, directly from local farmers. Eligible participants receive food vouchers via mail, which must be used by November 15 of the calendar year they are issued. By connecting seniors with fresh produce and supporting local agriculture, SFMNP fosters community health and sustainability.
