📢 A Note About the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program
We want to take a moment to address the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) and answer some questions we've been receiving.
The Reno County Farmers Market does not administer or manage this program. The application process, vendor approvals, and payment system are all handled by the Kansas Health Department.
We are disappointed with the changes that have been made to the program and the challenges they have created over the last few years. The current system has become difficult for many vendors to navigate and complete, resulting in several of our vendors choosing to leave the program because of the time and complexity involved in getting set up.
If you have questions, concerns, or would like to share your feedback about the program, we encourage you to contact the Kansas Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program directly at 785-296-4782. Since the state administers the program, they are the best source for information and are the appropriate office to receive comments about how the program is working.
At this time, we have two participating vendors accepting Senior Nutrition Program vouchers:
🥕 Spares Produce – Wednesdays only.
🥕 Hare's Produce – Accepts vouchers on both market days when they are in attendance.
We remain committed to supporting our seniors and our vendors, and we hope to see improvements that make this valuable program easier for everyone to participate in.
Thank you for supporting your local farmers and the Reno County Farmers Market. 💚
