Senior Farm Market Fresh Benefit Delay

August 5, 2025

A message from DARS' Division for Aging Services:
As you may know, benefit cards for the Farm Market Fresh program have been delayed. This is not due to any issue with your local agency on aging, Southern Area Agency on Aging. Our (DARS) vendor, Healthy Together, experienced a mailing delay. The vendor confirmed the issue was resolved on August 1st, and physical cards should arrive at approved seniors’ homes between August 4-9. We understand the challenges this year’s program has caused and regret the stress on our communities and farmers. DARS is working hard to resolve issues as quickly as possible. We appreciate your continued patience!
