Agreements for the Farmers’ and Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Programs must be signed every three years. Policy has posted new versions of the Agreements for both programs reflecting the dates of the new cycle beginning Program Year 2025. Changes to the Agreements include removal of references to the signature requirement on vouchers in both programs to align with regulations and guidance provided in the USDA-issued FMNP Policy Memo #2022-1 and SFMNP Policy Memo #2022-2. Additionally, TDA has created a new SFMNP Agreement Addendum (SFMNP-01A) to be signed by a Contracting Entity that fully operates and owns a Farmers’ Market Association. All FMNP and SFMNP Agreements can be found on those Programs’ respective Administration/Forms pages on SquareMeals.
Policy will post notice in the newsletter and on the S/FMNP Policy/Handbook pages.
