Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program
The Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program provides low-income seniors with $25 in vouchers that can be exchanged for eligible foods at farmers’ markets, roadside stands and community-supported agriculture programs. Every eligible senior may apply, and households are no longer limited to one set of vouchers. Vouchers are available on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.

- Are 60 years or older (55 years or older for Indigenous Elders)
- Are Milwaukee County residents
- Have a monthly income of less than;
- $2,413 for a household of one
- $3,261 for a household of two
- Add $848 for every additional household member

Using your FoodShare benefits at the farmers’ market:
Bring some cash with you to the market. Vendors will not give you change for the vouchers, so you can stretch them further if you have a few bucks on hand.
Helpful Tips:
Add leftover produce to casseroles or soups so food doesn’t go to waste.
Don’t overspend when shopping. Plan a menu and buy groceries accordingly.
Freeze what you can’t eat now to enjoy later. Freeze produce at peak season or when it’s on sale.
Go home directly after shopping and store items in the refrigerator to keep produce crisp.
Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly with cold water for 1 minute or until all dirt and dust is removed before eating or cooking.
