A U.S. Department of Agriculture program will help low income seniors and local farmer’s markets at the same time. The Rock County Council on Aging says farmer’s market vouchers are available. Nutrition Program Supervisor Linda Hardie says the goal is to allow needy seniors access to fresh produce while aiding the expansion of farmer’s markets and roadside stands. Hardie says, because of COVID-19, the applications will be done over the phone this year and then mailed, rather than have an in-person distribution.
