The Maine Senior FarmShare Program in Lewiston, ME, is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of income-eligible older adults by providing them with free access to local, fresh produce from Maine farmers during the growing season. Designed to foster community connections and support sustainable agriculture, this initiative allows seniors to receive a share valued at $50, promoting nutritious eating and encouraging local farming. Enrollment begins in April each year, and seniors must sign up directly with a participating farmer to secure their share, which is available on a first-come, first-served basis, as availability is limited. This program is an essential resource for enhancing food access among Maine's senior population, ensuring that they can enjoy the benefits of quality, locally-grown fruits and vegetables.
