Don’t miss out! There’s still time to get and use your Farmers Market Vouchers.

The Senior Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program provides vouchers (coupons or checks) to older individuals for use at farmer’s markets, roadside stands, and community-supported agriculture programs for fresh nutritious, unprepared, locally grown fruits, vegetables, herbs, and honey.

Eligible participants in the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program must:

• Be 60 years of age or older at the time of the application, born in or before 1964
• Live in the service area of this Area Agency on Aging
• Gross household income (i.e., before taxes) must be no more than $27,861 for a household size of 1 and $37,814 for a household size of 2.

Each eligible participant receives 10 vouchers with a total value of $50.00. A person can only receive vouchers one time per program year. Farmers Market vouchers may be used from June 1 through October 31 at authorized farmers’ markets, farm stands, and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Farms where “Farmers Market Nutrition Program Vouchers Welcome Here” signs are displayed.
