The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, known as Senior Project FRESH/Market FRESH in Michigan, provides older adults who qualify, with unprocessed, Michigan-grown products from authorized farmers markets and roadside stands throughout Michigan.
Qualified older adults and Wisewoman participants receive coupons that are used to purchase Michigan-grown produce at registered roadside stands and farmers markets. Eligible items include: berries, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, beans, honey, and more.
Look for this yellow sign for participating vendors, or ask the Market Master in the red vest!

SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program)
As of October 1, 2008, SNAP is the new name for the federal Food Stamp Program. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) allows you to use your Bridge card at the market! Our Market Masters at the RED tent will swipe your Bridge card in exchange for $1.00 tokens to use on eligible food items.
Want just $1.00? Fine! Want $20? Fine!
Naturally, fruits and veggies are eligible. But, did you know that you can also use Bridge money for an oregano plant or a tomato plant? Yes sir, they are part of the plan. Buy a nice little yellow pear tomato plant at the market and grow your own at home!
