Eligible Low-Income Seniors can receive special checks to spend with select farmers!
The Farmers Market Nutrition Program provides low income seniors (SFMNP) with five $10 checks (totaling $50) to spend with approved farmers across Pennsylvania. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy fresh, nutritious, unprepared fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Several Indiana County Farmers’ Market vendors accept SFMNP checks!
Spend your SFMNP at our market and we’ll give you Match Money to spend some more!
