Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program
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.
In 2022, Oklahoma moved the SFMNP participant application online. This update is intended to improve service to our seniors and allow recruiters to provide real-time updates on an applicant’s status. Seniors can apply for the program at oksfmnp.org
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.
How do I apply for SFMNP membership?
You can complete the online application HERE or find an SFMNP Recruiter or recruitment event near you.
You will be able to track the progress of your online application once it is submitted. Applications can take up to 30 days to process.
