The Senior Farmer's Market Program offers you an opportunity to purchase fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables and herbs from certified farmers.

Eligibility

To be eligible to receive Senior Farmer's Market Program vouchers, there must be at least one individual in the household who is age 60 or older and meets income eligibility requirements. Native Americans may participate at age 55 or older. One voucher per household.

To be eligible for the vouchers in Ozaukee County, you must be an Ozaukee County resident.

Senior Farmer's Market Vouchers can be used June 1 - October 31

You can take your vouchers to any participating farmer's market or roadside stand. Nearly every county in the state has at least one participating market. You can even take them with you when you are traveling throughout the state!

Go to an authorized market (we will provide the most recent list when you pick up your vouchers) and look for a blue or yellow sign stating the vendor can accept vouchers.

Vouchers

Voucher are distributed one day, at the end of June, at sites across the county. They are distributed on a first come, first served basis and each household is allowed one voucher. For specific information on this year's distribution date and time, please contact the Aging and Disability Resource Center at 262-284-8120 after June 15.

Why can I buy only locally grown produce with my Senior Farmer's Market vouchers? 

One goal of the Farmer's Market Program is to increase the use of Farmer's Markets in order to support the local economy.

Eating locally grown produce from Farmer's markets:

• Allows for crops to be harvested at the best time for freshness, which improves the nutritional quality and flavor of produce
• Gives you the opportunity to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs
• Invests directly in your community
• Provides you with produce that was grown with fewer pesticides
• Supports small family farms in Wisconsin and neighboring communities

Questions or Problems

If you have any questions or concerns about the program; or to report complaints about the program or an individual vendor; contact the Aging and Disability Resource Center at 262-284-8120.
