Nutrition Assistance for Low-Income Seniors
The 2026 Season Has Begun!
The Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) is a federally funded program administered nationally by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Services Agency and in California, by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA).
The goal of the California SFMNP is to provide fresh, nutritious, unprepared, locally grown produce, cut herbs, and raw honey through Certified Farmers’ Markets to low-income seniors.
Seniors who qualify receive one electronic benefit card worth $50 to buy fresh produce at certified farmers’ markets. To qualify you must:
- be age 60 or older,
- have a monthly income of $2,461 or less for an individual, or $3,337 or less for a 2-person household,
- not have received a voucher for the 2026 season already.
It is a self- certification process, so no proof of income is required, but please bring ID. There will be an informational form that must be filled out for each qualifying senior. Quantities are limited.
Only one benefit card per household per year
