The Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) in Perry, IA, is dedicated to supporting eligible older adults by providing them with a booklet of checks worth $30 to purchase fresh, locally grown produce, including fruits, vegetables, herbs, and honey at participating farmers’ markets and roadside stands. This essential food assistance program is administered in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the Iowa Department on Aging, aiming to enhance the health and wellness of seniors in our community. SFMNP checks are available from June 1 through September 30, distributed by Area Agencies on Aging on a first-come, first-served basis. Seniors must apply annually to receive these valuable checks, reinforcing our commitment to ensuring access to nutritious food while supporting local agriculture.
