Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Montevallo, AL, is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of low-income seniors aged 60 and older by providing them with food assistance through fresh, locally sourced produce. Administered by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, this program offers valuable food vouchers that enable participants to purchase eligible foods such as fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs directly from local farmers at approved farmers markets and roadside stands. We understand the importance of access to nutritious food, and our aim is to empower seniors to make healthier choices while supporting local agriculture. If eligible, seniors will receive their vouchers by mail, which must be redeemed by November 15 of the issue year, ensuring that our community's senior citizens can enjoy fresh meals throughout the growing season.
