Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Northport, AL, is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of low-income seniors aged 60 and older by providing them with food vouchers that enable the purchase of fresh, locally grown foods such as fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs. Administered by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, this program connects seniors directly with farmers at local farmers markets and roadside stands, empowering them to enjoy nutritious, wholesome foods while supporting local agriculture. Approved participants will receive coupons by mail to use at Farmers Market Authority approved locations, ensuring they can access these vital food resources before the November 15 expiration date each year.
