This year’s Senior Farmer’s Market Nutrition program check (formerly coupon) booklets are now available, distributed through local senior centers and other agencies. Each booklet includes $35 worth of checks that can be used to buy fresh produce and other items at local farmer’s markets, authorized roadside stands and other select locations. Applicants must be at least 60 years old and meet low-income eligibility guidelines. Links to program information and a downloadable application are at https://bit.ly/38GnBU0. Or call your local senior center or meal program for details. There’s also a proxy application form that allows someone to apply on behalf of someone else.
Checks may be used from June 1 through Oct. 31.
