Senior Project FRESHThe Otsego County Commission on Aging, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging, MSU Extension, and the Farmers Market under the Pavilion at Court, offers a program targeted at bringing fresh locally-grown produce and nutritional information to the older adults of Otsego County. Known as Senior Project FRESH, the program offers a free coupon booklet to each qualifying participant which can be used to purchase unprocessed Michigan-grown produce at any of the farmers markets or roadside stands in Michigan that display a “Project FRESH” sign. Each coupon booklet contains ten $2.00 coupons. Each booklet is valued at $20.00.
