The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)
The senior farmers market nutrition program (SFMNP) provides fresh fruit and vegetables to lower-income seniors and supports local farming by increasing the use of farmers markets, roadside stands, and community supported agriculture. Produce is also purchased directly from farmers for delivery to seniors.
To be eligible to participate, you must meet the following:
- You must be 60 years old or older (or 55+ if you are Native American / Alaska Native)

- $36,482 Annual or $3,040 Monthly Income for 2 people
- For larger households, add $792 for each additional person
