Help for Low-Income Seniors
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.
