Harnett County

Senior Mobile Farmers Market & Resource Fair

We’re excited to announce the launch of our Senior Mobile Farmers Market & Resource Fair in partnership with the Harnett County Department on Aging! This special two-event series is designed to bring our certified farmers directly to Harnett County seniors at The Commons in Lillington on July 16 and August 20.

Seniors can use their Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) vouchers to shop for fresh, local produce and will receive an extra $10 in Double Bucks. This helps stretch their SFMNP dollars further, allowing them to purchase more fruits, vegetables, honey, and herbs to support a healthy diet and budget.

πŸ—“οΈ Wednesday, July 16
πŸ—“οΈ Wednesday, August 20
πŸ•™ 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM

These events are designed to help seniors use their Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) vouchers by bringing our certified local farmers directly to them.

What's included:

  • πŸ₯¬ Local SFMNP certified farmers accepting Senior FMNP vouchers

  • πŸ’΅ An extra $10 in Double Bucks while funding lasts

  • 🍳 Food demo by the Poe Center for Health Education

So far, we’ve secured $1,000 in sponsorships from Trinity Episcopal Church and the Downtown Fuquay-Varina Rotary Club. We are looking for additional business sponsors or donors to raise another $1,000 so we can offer Double Bucks to 200 seniors in Harnett County. 

Businesses sponsoring $250 or more will have their logos printed on table banner, social media mentions, on website, and in newsletter.
