Farmers’ Market Expansion Act of 2025
This bill amends the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program by expanding the list of eligible foods. It replaces "and herbs" with "herbs, and tree nuts (including shelled tree nuts)" in the program's provisions. This change directly affects seniors participating in the program, allowing them to receive tree nuts as part of their benefits when purchasing fresh produce at farmers' markets. The policy change is a technical update to the program's food eligibility list, with no new funding or administrative requirements.
