NANAIMO — A highly popular program is again offering discounted farmers’ market food items around the province.
The Ministry of Health funded BC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program covers items such as vegetables, meat, fish, eggs and dairy products for families, pregnant women and low income seniors in 95 communities.
Already at capacity for this year, the program allows enrolled households to receive up to $27 per week in coupons for upwards of four months.
Locally, Nanaimo’s Island Roots Bowen Road Market and the Gabriola Farmer’s Market are included in the coupon initiative.
