Senior Project FRESH

The Otsego County Commission on Aging, in partnership with MSU Extension, offers a program targeted at bringing locally-grown fresh produce and nutritional information to the older adults of Otsego County. Known as Senior Project FRESH, the program offers a coupon booklet to each qualifying participant which can be used at any of the farmer’s markets or roadside stands in Michigan that display a “Project Fresh” sign.

The Application Process is Quick and Easy!

To apply for a coupon booklet, older adults will need to complete an application that includes a short nutrition screening.   Applicants qualify based on their age, county residency, and income.  To be considered, applicants must be at least 60 years of age or older. Income limits are pretty generous.  A single person can have an income of up to $1,603 a month and qualify, and couples can have up to $2,158 a month.  Applications will be available sometime in the spring.

Farmers Market Locations in Otsego County

Otsego County currently has three farmers markets. All the markets accept the Senior Project FRESH coupons.
