The Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program is part of the senior nutrition program, which provides a variety of nutrition services to seniors, aged 60 and over, with the greatest social and economic need.

The purpose of the Georgia Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (GSFMNP) is to encourage the purchase of eligible, locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables directly from farmers. These direct purchases increase the farmer’s share of the food dollar, keep more of the consumer dollar in local communities and helps to revitalize rural areas.
