Senior Farmer's Market

Senior Farmer's Market -- A great program for you and your local farmers!

Each summer, the ADRC helps distribute the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition checks. These checks are provided to older adults by the USDA to encourage them to shop at local farmers markets and to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Eligible individuals receive checks which are spent just like cash at approved farmers markets and farm stands.

Eligibility:

• Must be a resident of Sauk County
• Must be 60 or older (or 55 if Native American)
• Income must fall at or below the guidelines listed below

2026 Income Eligibility Table - TBD

Distribution:

We receive a set number of checks that will be distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis. Please see the distribution sites and be sure to get it on your calendar! This will be the first opportunity to get the checks. You may send a proxy on your behalf if you are physically unable to get to the distribution. The proxy must have the application completed and signed by the participant, and then brought to distribution or into the office.
