Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Sylacauga, AL, connects low-income seniors aged 60 and older with the nourishing benefits of fresh, locally grown produce. Administered by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries, this vital program provides food vouchers that can be used to purchase a variety of eligible foods, including fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs, directly from participating farmers at local farmers markets and roadside stands. By offering these resources, SFMNP not only supports the health and well-being of seniors but also fosters relationships with local agriculture, ensuring that our community thrives. Seniors can apply for coupons, which are mailed directly to them, and must be used by November 15 of the year received, making it easier to access healthy food options throughout our beautiful region.
