Press release:
Farmers Market Coupons are still available at the Genesee County Office for the Aging, 2 Bank St., Batavia.
Booklets are available to adults aged 60 years and older who are income-eligible. Proof of age identification must be provided.
Income guidelines are as follows:
- Household of one $1,926 per month;
- Household of two $2,607 per month;
- Household of three $3,289 per month.
Maureen Estabrooks, Office for the Aging’s coordinator for the program, says, “It still remains, that anyone 60 or older in a household may receive a coupon booklet as long as they are income eligible.
"This means that in a qualifying household, multiple individuals may receive booklets. This program is a wonderful way to help older adults with limited income to purchase healthy fresh produce from our local farmers.”
