Senior Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program
The Senior Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) is a “Win-Win” program, which benefits both low-income seniors and our local farmers! Local farmers sell more produce, and seniors who otherwise could not afford it are able to purchase organic, fresh fruits and vegetables as excellent supplementation to a healthy diet.
