LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â Fresh fruits and vegetables are essential to a healthy diet but acquiring them costs more than processed foods, an issue the Kentucky Department of Agriculture has been trying to solve for more than a decade and now is offering to veterans.
The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program allows qualifying seniors to use vouchers at farmers markets all over the state to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and honey.
The Agriculture Department started an additional arm as a pilot program in the spring of 2021 in four counties catering just to veterans. The counties include Christian, Hardin, Madison and Fayette.

The nonagenarian had fallen at his home in Florida the night before, however, and was in the hospital past two o clock in the morning with a head injury.
