Income-eligible senior citizens aged 60-plus can receive a one time (per family, per year) coupon book worth $20 to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at the Port Washington Organic Farmers’ Market. The Port Washington Farmers’ Market, located at the Town Dock, 347 Main St., is open on Saturday mornings through October 31. The coupons are provided by the New York State Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program. They will be available at no cost after July 21 at easily accessible, convenient locations throughout Nassau County. Farmers’ Markets are places where local farmers sell their produce directly to consumers, usually right off the trucks. The produce is seasonal, locally grown, fresh-picked and reasonably priced.
