Farmers Market season has commenced. The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP), administered by the Illinois Department on Aging and Illinois Department of Human Services, offers income-eligible older adults access to up to $50 worth of locally grown fruits, vegetables, herbs, and honey from certified farmers.

The SFMNP distributes free coupon books containing five $10 SFMNP checks to more than 28,000 low-income older Illinoisans annually. Eligible participants must be at least 60 years old and have a household income at or below 185% of the federal poverty level.
