Sign-up begins for fresh produce through Senior FarmShare program

Seniors age 60 or older with an income below $20,036 for an individual and $26,995 for couples are eligible to receive $50 of free fresh locally grown fruits and vegetables this coming season through the Maine Senior FarmShare Program.

More than 17,000 seniors and 140 farmers statewide will be participating in 2009. To find a participating farm, seniors are encouraged to contact their local Area Agency on Aging at 877-353-3771. The list of participating farms is also available at getrealmaine.com/connect/farmshare/senior.html.
