The Maine Senior FarmShare Program is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of income-eligible seniors in Scarborough, ME, by providing them with the opportunity to enjoy fresh, locally grown produce at no cost. Each year during the growing season, eligible seniors can receive a $50 share of seasonal fruits and vegetables directly from local Maine farmers. This initiative not only supports seniors in accessing nutritious food, but also strengthens local agriculture. Seniors can sign up with participating farmers starting in April, although shares are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. While meeting eligibility requirements is essential, it's important to note that it does not guarantee a FarmShare, as demand is high for this valuable program that encourages healthy eating and community connection.
