Another season of free produce for seniors begins
May 17, 2023
BAR HARBOR — Healthy Acadia is partnering with Maine Senior FarmShare and Maine Federation of Farmers Markets to launch a new
Senior FarmShare program at the Bar Harbor Eden Farmers’ Market. Senior Farm Share is designed to support lower-income older adults in accessing healthy food while also ensuring that Maine farmers are fairly compensated for the food they grow.
By participating in Maine Senior FarmShare, income-eligible Maine seniors can receive $50 worth of credit to spend on fruits and vegetables at select farms and farmers’ markets.
To participate, one must be a Maine resident 60 years old or older (or 55 years old or older for Native Americans) and meet income guidelines.
To enroll, visit the info booth at the farmers’ market beginning on May 20, or at https://healthyacadia.org/ha-sfs.
