Farmers Market Coupons

Each year SCES requests Farmers Market coupons (through a grant) from the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture. The number of coupons received by SCES depends upon funding available. SCES then distributes the coupons to each meal site and delivers fresh produce to a percentage of Home Delivered Meals clients.

Coupons are generally available in early August. For further information please call Andrea Libertini-Svartstrom in the SCES Nutrition Department at 617-628-2601, ext. 3054.
