Get $540 To Buy Fresh Fruit

Seniors making up to $22,000/year can get as much as $540 to buy fresh fruit and vegetables from road side stands. Through the little-known Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, seniors in 40 states can have the government help buy their produce. Find out how much your state can give you to buy food.
