The Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) provides fresh, nutritious, unprepared, locally-grown produce, cut herbs, and raw honey through Certified Farmers’ Markets to low-income seniors.

The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) is designed to:

• Provide low-income seniors with access to locally grown fruits, vegetables, honey, and herbs.
• Increase the domestic consumption of agricultural commodities through farmers' markets, roadside stands, and community supported agricultural programs.
• Aid in the development of new and additional farmers' markets, roadside stands, and community support agricultural programs.
• Eligibility - SFMNP food benefits are provided to individuals 60 years of age and older who are on a limited income, allowing them access to fresh produce from local farmers' markets. Qualified senior recipients may receive only one produce box per season, which runs from May-September. Quantities are limited.
• Which Farmers' Markets participate - There are locations in Placer and Nevada counties. The list is not always up to date.
