Farmers Market Coupons The Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA) encourages low-income seniors to sign up for free Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) coupon books. SFMNP’s goal is to supplement the diets of low-income seniors with fresh, nutritious produce while supporting Nevada’s farmers. The coupons can be exchanged for fresh locally grown fruits, vegetables, herbs and honey at farmers’ markets in Reno, Sparks and Carson City. SFMNP’s coupon books are free, but are on a first-come, first-served basis, and limited to one per person. Eligible seniors can use the coupons through September 30, 2025. Each eligible senior will get $50 in coupons redeemable at local farmers' markets. To qualify, seniors must meet income criteria established by the Federal government. Eligible seniors must be a Nevada resident, 60 years or older, and must not make more than $28,953 annually or $2,413 monthly for a single-family household.
