Collapse ▲What is the NC Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program?
The NC Seniors Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) is a summer-only program that provides vouchers to eligible lower-income older adults to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh cut herbs at NC SFMNP certified farmers’ markets. This summertime program is designed to improve the nutrition of older adults and increase business for local farmers and farmers’ markets. The NC SFMNP season is from July 1 to September 30.
The NC SFMNP is not available in all NC counties. So far this year, the program will be available in 49 of the 100 counties in North Carolina.
