Nutrition Programs

The 2023 Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program is closed.

The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) provides eligible seniors with fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers markets and farm stands.


The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) increases our community’s intake of fruits and vegetables; expands the use of local farmers markets, farm stands, and community-supported agriculture programs; and increases sales of Washington grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs.


Eligible low-income seniors receive one $80 benefit card to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at participating farmers markets and farm stands.
