  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The SFMNP awards grants to States, U.S. Territories and Federally recognized Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs) to provide lowincome seniors with coupons that can be exchanged for eligible foods at farmers’ markets, roadside stands, and community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs. The majority of grant funds must be used for benefits. State agencies may use up to 10 percent of their grants for program administrative costs.
