B.C.’s farmers’ market coupon program is back for another season
First launched in 2021, with $3 million over three years, the coupon program helps lower-income people and families, including seniors, “access fresh and nutritious foods from local farmers’ markets,” said Health Minister Adrian Dix in a news release Saturday .
The BC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program is a healthy-eating program that supports farmers’ markets and is aimed at strengthening food security throughout British Columbia. This year, the program is operating in about 85 communities across B.C. Wylie Bystedt, chair of the BC Association of Farmers Markets, said the program both supports the community and invests in farmers.
