Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program

Applications for the 2024 Oklahoma Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) are currently full. You can still complete the application to join the waitlist, pending funding availability. 

The Oklahoma Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) provides a $50 EBT debit card to eligible seniors. This card can only be used to purchase locally grown produce, raw honey, and fresh-cut herbs.

Beginning in 2022, Oklahoma will be moving the SFMNP participant application online. This will improve service to our seniors and allow recruiters to provide real-time updates on an applicant's status.

Each county with a participating farmers market or farm stand will have a designated recruiter or recruitment team to assist seniors in the application process.
