The Area Agency on Aging of Dane County offers vouchers to seniors for use in purchasing $25 worth of fruit, vegetables or herbs at farmers’ markets and roadside farm stands in Wisconsin during the 2021 season (June to October). The vouchers are distributed on a first come/first served basis to those 60 or older, who have gross incomes under $23,828 per year (or $1,986/ month) for a one person household and $32,227 (or $2,686/month) for a two person household, and live in Dane County. One set of vouchers per household regardless of household size.
By June, past participants will receive an application in the mail along with instructions for this year’s program. For those who have never participated in the program and wish to apply, contact AAA Dietitian Shannon Gabriel at (608) 261-5678. Once we receive and approve your application, vouchers will be mailed starting on June 1st. For more information on farmers’ market vouchers, contact the Stoughton Area Senior Center at (608) 873-8585, or call Shannon Gabriel at the number above. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
The vouchers may be used at most Dane County Farmers Markets.
