Senior Farmer's Market Vouchers

This year to avoid long lines on distribution days, eligible Carter County seniors will call the Extension Office at 606-474-6686 to schedule an appointment to pick up their Farmer's Market voucher card.  Calls will be taken between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on May 1st and 2nd.  You will need to provide your name address, birthday, and income information.  We will schedule an appointment for you to sign the paperwork and pick up a new card. (APPOINTMENTS WILL NOT BE ISSUED PRIOR TO MAY 1)

Appointments will be scheduled for June 12 in Grayson at the Extension Office Education Building and June 13th in the back parking lot of Olive Hill Elementary School.  You will need to arrive at your designated appointment time with proof of identification.  (THERE IS NO NEED TO SHOW UP EARLY).  Once you have an appointment time, you are guaranteed to receive a voucher card if you show up for your appointment. 

Each voucher recipient will receive a $50 debit card that can be used at State approved Farmer's Markets.  The Grayson Farmer's Market is located in the shed behind the Extension Office (94 Fairground Dr.) and the Olive Hill Farmer's Market is located in the Save-A-Lot parking lot (131 Jessica Lane).  

Eligibility requirements:  Must be 60 years of age or older at the time of issuance and must provide proof of age; Seniors must also meet income requirements.  Participants must also live in Carter County.  

Participants may only sign up for vouchers once each summer.  Vouchers will be distributed on a first come-first serve basis.
