I have coupons; how do they work?
Once coupons are in hand, we encourage using them at the Market that day. Look for the orange signs saying "We gladly accept coupons here" at farm stalls to purchase locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables. Coupons can be used at various Farmers' Markets in Onondaga County, to see a list click here.
Each booklet contains five coupons valued at $5 each, totaling $25. Change is not given if purchasing items under $5. If you go over $5, you can pay the difference.
The locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables provided by this program offer many important health benefits to seniors while also offering an economic stimulus. Farmers Market coupon booklets, redeemable for New York State grown fruits and vegetables, are distributed at community locations to eligible seniors. These coupons are offered once a year, beginning in July and the Program lasts until they have all been distributed.
