Senior Farmers Markets Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

The Senior Farmers Markets Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Paradise Valley, AZ, is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of low-income seniors by providing access to fresh, nutritious, and locally grown food. Each year, eligible seniors can receive SFMNP vouchers that can be redeemed for a variety of unprepared fruits, vegetables, honey, and herbs at authorized farmers markets and roadside stands, as well as Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) boxes in lieu of vouchers. This initiative helps seniors enjoy the benefits of healthy eating while supporting local farmers. Vouchers are typically distributed to qualifying seniors from February 1st at designated distributors, but the exact timing may vary based on seasonal availability and funding. SFMNP is committed to fostering a stronger community through improved nutrition and accessible food resources for our older residents.
