Vouchers for the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) are now available to eligible seniors across the state through their county senior services. The SFMNP is a federally funded initiative that provides low-income seniors with access to fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, herbs, and honey from authorized farmers’ markets and roadside stands.
Vouchers are valid from June 2 through October 31, 2025, and support both senior nutrition and local agriculture. Seniors must receive vouchers in the county where they reside, but they may redeem them at any participating market statewide.
“The SFMNP supports two vital needs—improving senior nutrition and strengthening our local farming economy,” said Commissioner of Agriculture Kent Leonhardt. “We encourage all eligible seniors to take advantage of this opportunity to access fresh, West Virginia-grown products.”
Each eligible senior will receive a booklet of vouchers worth $30, containing three $10 vouchers. Vouchers can be redeemed at participating farmers’ markets and farm stands across the state. A list of authorized locations is available on the West Virginia Department of Agriculture (WVDA) website and through local senior centers.
Participants must be 60 years of age or older and meet income eligibility guidelines. To apply, seniors should contact their local senior center or county aging office.
