Valuable square
🧑🏽🌾 🥕Access to fresh, healthy food is essential, and we’re proud to support programs that help make that possible at farmers markets within our service area. Programs like the new Cherokee Nation Public Health’s Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, which provide eligible Cherokee citizens aged 55 and older with $100 to spend on fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, honey, and more at participating farmers markets. 🔗 To learn more, visit:

Additionally, families participating in WIC can benefit from the Cherokee Nation WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program, which provides $50 in vouchers to use at markets for fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables.
The Oklahoma Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) also supports seniors statewide, offering $50 in benefits to those aged 60+ to purchase local produce. Or
programs like Double Up Oklahoma (DUO), where shoppers using SNAP/EBT at participating markets and grocery stores can receive up to $20 in matching funds to spend on fruits and vegetables. DUO is a program of Hunger Free Oklahoma
These programs were highlighted at the Day of Health at Muskogee Farmers' Market this past weekend. This event brought together health, wellness, and community resources. We’re grateful to have connected with residents and shared information about these valuable opportunities.
📍 Don’t forget: the Muskogee Mid-Week Farmers’ Market is now open on Wednesdays from 8 AM to 1 PM at the Muskogee Civic Center. Stop by to shop fresh and learn more about how these programs can help you and your family access nutritious, local foods.
