Farmers Market Coupon Program

IMPORTANT

The City of Nelson has given us notice that our office must close by May 16 due to the Civic Centre renovations.  This will be in effect until at least October.  You can still communicate with us by email sencoord@gmail.com or by phone 250-352-6008 and leave a message.  Income Tax documents will not be available for pickup after May 16.  Farmers’ Market coupons available for registered clients to pick up starting June 5 at the Wednesday market. Booth is with the Nelson Farmers market corner of Baker and Hall. We plan to be there every Wednesday from 10am to noon.

Nelson and District Seniors Coordinating Society is helping to distribute coupons from the BC Association of Farmers’ Market to low-income families, pregnant women and seniors. Each family participating in the program was eligible for $30 per week in market coupons.

The program is supported by the provincial government, the Provincial Health Services Association and the Columbia Basin Trust.

In 2022 we helped 35 low-income seniors to access fresh local healthy produce directly from Farmers. In total, Nelson market customers received $16,578 worth of Farmers Market Coupon Program coupons.
