Seniors Offered Farm Market Coupons by Ulster County New York

One of the joys of summer is getting to visit Hudson Valley farms and farmer's markets. It is a great way to enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables that are grown in our region. It is also a great way to support our Hudson Valley Farms.

Farm-fresh eggs, fruits straight from the tree, and corn fresh out of the field are all the delicious gifts we enjoy in the summer. So imagine for a moment that you are on a budget and going to a farm market or farmers market might not seem the best way for you to buy vegetables you are going to eat for the week.

I find that most fresh market items at Hudson Valley farms are very reasonably priced but for some, it can be a strain to make a special trip or even pay a few cents more. This is why I think it is great that Ulster Ounty has come up with the "Farmer's Market Coupon".
