Updated Aug. 26, 2026 (New distribution information)

The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program in 2026 will provide a $50 farmers market benefits card per eligible senior. Cards are distributed on a first-come first-served basis while supplies last.

Sonoma County SFMNP Distribution Dates for 2026

As of Aug. 26, 2026, three more distribution events are being scheduled. They will be in September, with one distribution at Petaluma East Side Farmers Market, and another at Santa Rosa Farmers Lane. A third location is to be determined. We will update this blog post when the location and dates are set.

• Santa Rosa Community Farmers Market at Farmers Lane. (Date TBD.) Location: 1501 Farmers Lane, Santa Rosa 95405
• Petaluma East Side Farmers Market (Date TBD.) 320 N McDowell Blvd. Petaluma,

Seniors who receive SFMNP are also eligible to receive ExtraFood‘s nutrition bonus bucks vouchers. For more information about that program, please reach out to ExtraFood at contact@extrafood.org or (415) 997-9830.

SFMNP is federally funded and state administered in partnership with county agencies. With no administrative funds and reduced county personnel, there are challenges to the rollout. Petaluma Bounty is advising and assisting the county, as is ExtraFood. Additionally, ExtraFood received state funding to distribute $50 in vouchers to anyone who receives the 2026 SFMNP.

Proxy Form

If an eligible senior is unable to visit a distribution site to pick up SFMNP and nutrition bonus bucks, the senior can authorize someone else (a proxy) to pick them up. The senior must sign the proxy form ahead of time. Click here for the proxy form.
