Morris County reminds eligible seniors about farmers market vouchers and distribution dates
Summary
County officials said Morris County participates in the statewide Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program; vouchers worth up to $40 will be distributed June 1–Sept. 30 and redeemable through Nov. 30, with limited supply available.
Morris County staff reminded residents that the county participates in the statewide Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program and urged eligible seniors to apply for vouchers.
The nut graf: Vouchers are distributed June 1 through Sept. 30 and may be redeemed at participating farmers markets in Morris County from June 1 through Nov. 30; the county has a limited number of vouchers and said seniors should apply early.
County staff described the program's mechanics: eligible low‑income seniors receive a QR code or voucher valued at up to $40 to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at participating markets. The county also said it will provide brochures listing participating markets and will include a visible reminder of the $40 value on the voucher lanyard to help seniors who carry flip phones or are unfamiliar with QR codes.
Staff emphasized the program is limited in supply and that distribution and redemption windows are set by the statewide program. No action was taken at the meeting; staff encouraged interested residents to pick up application materials at county offices or consult the county website.
Ending: County staff said they will distribute printed brochures and lanyards showing voucher value and that more details are available on the Morris County website.
