The Senior Farm Share Program helps limited-income seniors living in participating housing sites to access fresh locally-grown fruits and vegetables from their local farmer. Each week a Senior Farm Share member receives a portion of the harvest from the farm. In addition to receiving vegetables, seniors are given the opportunity to connect with other seniors within their residence through food distribution and preparation, learn from ways to cook and preserve their produce, meet other community members who are associated with the farm, and develop a relationship with the farmer who grows the food they eat each week. In 2022, there were nearly 1,000 Senior Farm Share members throughout Vermont!
The 2022 application period is now closed. Please check back! The 2023 application period will open likely in mid-April or early May.
