Coupons worth a total of $20 are available to Northampton County residents age 60 or over who meet income eligibility criteria, thanks to continuation of the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program by the state. The coupons are distributed by the Northampton County Area Agency on Aging.

John Mehler, area agency administrator, said single county residents age 60 or over with incomes less than $21,775 per year are eligible, as are married couples with incomes of $29,471 per year or less. For married couples, both spouses may obtain coupons. Proof of age and residence must be presented.

Persons may only receive coupons once during the program, which runs June 1 through Sept. 30. They must be used at state-registered farmers markets; a listing of those markets is available from the Northampton County Area Agency on Aging.

Coupon distribution sites in the Northampton Press area include Mid County Senior Center, 234 Walnut St., Bath, and Cherryville Senior Center, 4131 Lehigh Drive.
