You qualify if you:

- OR disabled and living in senior housing where congregate meals are served

What You Can Buy with Farmers Market Coupons
You can use your coupons to buy fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables, and fresh cut herbs. Seniors can also use their coupons to buy honey. Other items available for sale at the market cannot be purchased with farmers’ market coupons. Fruit and vegetable choices may differ from market to market and at different times during the season. Not every market will have the same items – it depends on what your local farmer is growing!
