SPHERE Grant

The Senior Produce and Honey Extra Redemption Endorsement (SPHERE) Grant Program is a Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) doubling program for the 2018 farmers’ market season.

Funding for the SPHERE Grant Program is provided through reallocation of funding for the 2017 SFMNP which was unavailable during the 2017 farmers’ market season.

Eligible applicants include FMNP authorized farmers’ markets for 2018. Authorized markets must sign a contract or memorandum of understanding with the Department of Agriculture.

The SPHERE Grant Program and any awards are subject to limitations of state funding.
