About Our Program
The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (DACF) uses a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to fund the Maine Senior FarmShare Program (MSFP). This program provides eligible low-income seniors the opportunity to receive a share (worth $50) of first-quality, fresh, local fruits, vegetables, fresh cut herbs and raw honey at no cost directly from local Maine farmers during the growing season.
Eligibility Requirements
- Be a Maine resident
- Be 60 years old or older (55 years old or older for Native Americans)
- Meet the 2023 Income Guidelines:
- Maximum of $26,973/per year for a one-person household; or
- Maximum of $36,482/per year for a two-person household
Please understand that funding is limited, so meeting the eligibility requirements does not guarantee applicants will receive a FarmShare.
