The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Senior Farmers Market Program will be offered again this year to eligible Carbon County senior citizens.<\/p>\n
Each person will get vouchers totaling $25 to spend on Pennsylvania grown produce at any farmers market or farm stand that participates in the program.<\/p>\n
