The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (Senior FMNP) offers low-income older citizens an opportunity to purchase fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs from certified farmers.
Senior FMNP checks can be used from June 1 through October 31 at any participating farmers market or roadside stand in Wisconsin. In addition to offering nutritious foods, Senior FMNP supports local economies by increasing the use of farmers markets.
Who Is Eligible?
To be eligible to receive Senior FMNP checks, there must be at least one person in the household who is age 60 or older and meets income eligibility requirements. Native Americans may participate at age 55 or older.
In addition, the person must live in one of the counties participating in Senior FMNP (PDF) where checks are distributed.
