A financial boost for some low income families in our region.
The BC government is sinking another $1-million dollars into the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program.
The initiative helps low-income families have easier access to locally grown fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts and herbs.
They receive $15 worth of coupons that can be used at a participating market.
The program runs from June through October.
The Creston Valley Farmers’ Market, Nelson’s Cottonwood Community Market and Kaslo’s Artisans’ and Farmers’ Market all participate in the program.
