Maine Senior FarmShare Program

Through the Maine Senior FarmShare Program, Maine farmers provide fresh, unprocessed, locally grown produce at no cost to low-income seniors. Food is distributed directly from farms to seniors.

Benefits of Maine Senior FarmShare are three-fold:

providing low-income seniors fresh, healthy food;
developing a stable market for Maine farms; and
strengthening and building community ties.

IMPORTANT FOR 2008!

This is a permanent program which falls under the USDA’s Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP). Maine’s program, funded through the SFMNP is called the Maine Senior FarmShare Program.

Before farmers fill out an application to take part in the Maine Senior FarmShare Program in 2008, it is important to read and understand the program guidelines.

If you have questions, please call the Maine Department of Agriculture at 287-7526 or email us at maineseniorfarmshare@maine.gov.
