ESAAA-CAA to distribute fresh market coupons to seniors

Virginia’s Farm Market Fresh program helps eligible seniors get fresh produce and supports local farmers and farmers’ markets.

The program offers coupons to low-income residents age 60 or older, which can be exchanged for fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables and fresh-cut herbs at approved farmers’ markets and roadside stands.

Seniors can complete an application at their local Area Agency on Aging, Eastern Shore Area Agency on Aging/ Community Action Agency, at 757-442-9652. Participation is limited and applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
