The Oklahoma Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) offers low-income older citizens an opportunity to purchase fresh, locally-grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs from certified farmers. In addition to offering nutritious foods, the program supports local economies by increasing the use of farmers’ markets.
DHS is able to offer EBT cards to seniors who qualify based on certain requirements such as:
- At least one individual in the household must be age 60 or older
- Native Americans may participate at age 55 or older
- The individual must live in one of the participating counties

To assist clients in applying for SFMNP, completing the contact information online at www.oksfmnp.org.
Once the application is approved, a SFMNP-EBT card is issued to the customer. The customer is then able to visit a participating famer’s market with the card to purchase fresh, locally-grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
