The Area Agency on Aging has received the Senior Farmers Market coupon booklets for distribution to seniors 60 and older that live in Stanislaus County and have a limited income ($1,600/month or less for an individual or $2,159 for two).
Seniors are entitled to coupons only once per year. Each booklet contains a total of $20 of coupons in 10 $2 coupons. They are used like cash only at Certified Farmers Markets - in Oakdale, Riverbank and Modesto - to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables or herbs.
This is a farmer subsidy so coupons must be redeemed by mid-November.
Coupons are given on a first come, first served basis while supplies last.
The coupons will be available Wednesday, Aug. 6, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Riverbank Farmer's Market, Community Center Park on Santa Fe between Sixth and Seventh streets; Thursday, Aug. 7 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Oakdale Farmer's Market, 100 block of North Third between E and F streets and on Saturday, Aug. 9 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the downtown Modesto market, on 16th Street between H and I, behind the library.
