The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) provides low-income seniors with coupons or electronic benefits redeemable for fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, herbs, and honey at participating farmers markets, roadside stands, and community supported agriculture (CSA) programs. Annual benefits typically range from $20 to $50 per person and support both food access for seniors and revenue for local farmers. The program runs seasonally from roughly May through November in most states.
