Quick update on the 2025 Farmers Market Senior Fresh Connect coupon program.

Since the arrival of the coupon booklets (5, $5.00 coupons per book), Legislator Faggione has been to area senior citizens meetings, building communities, AND under the tent at the Port Jervis Farmers Market, delivering more than $5000 of coupons for area seniors. These coupons provide seniors with the opportunity to buy fresh fruits and vegetables at area markets.

Legislator Faggione has spearheaded the delivery of these coupon books for the past several market seasons.

"These coupons give area seniors a chance to get more and more fresh fruits and veggies in their homes, but these coupons do more. They give seniors another reason to get out and down to the market, and it allows them to stretch their other funds to purchase other items at the market", said Legislator Faggione.

The farmers market season continues through the fall. Get out and check out all the great products available.
