The Maine Senior FarmShare Program, located in Millinocket, ME, is committed to supporting income-eligible seniors by offering them the chance to enjoy fresh, local produce at no cost. Each year during the growing season, participating farmers collaborate with us to provide shares valued at $50, enabling older adults to connect with wholesome food directly from the source. Seniors can sign up with a farmer starting in April, but it’s important to note that shares are limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. While meeting eligibility criteria is essential, it does not guarantee a FarmShare, emphasizing the need for timely registration. Our mission is to promote healthy eating and foster connections between seniors and local agriculture, enhancing the well-being of our older community members.
