Senior Farmer's Market

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

11.1.2023 UPDATE: 2023 DISTRIBUTION IS COMPLETE!

Each summer, the ADRC helps distribute the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition checks. These checks are provided to seniors by the USDA to encourage shopping at local farmer's markets and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. Eligible households receive $35.00 in checks which are spent just like cash at approved farmers' markets and farm stands.

To qualify, you must be a resident of Sauk County and over the age of 60 (or age 55 if you are Native American), and your annual income must be below $26,973 for an individual or $36,482 for a 2-person household.

We have a limited number of checks and they will be given out on a first come serve basis.

The process for receiving Farmers' Market Checks is as follows:

• Call the ADRC (355-3289) to complete the application over the phone with an ADRC staff member.
• Staff will then mail the completed application to you to sign.
• Mail your signed & completed application back to the ADRC (505 Broadway, Baraboo, WI 53913).
• Once we receive your signed and completed application, we will mail the checks to you.

Please contact the ADRC with any questions, (608) 355-3289.
