Saratoga County Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program Provides Seniors with $11,095 in Fresh, Local Produce

BALLSTON SPA — Saratoga County officials announced on Oct. 24 its Seniors Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program, administered by the Department of Aging and Youth Services, provided $11,095 in fresh, local produce to Saratoga County seniors during the recently ended 2022 season.

Each year, the Saratoga County Department of Aging and Youth Services distributes coupon booklets to qualifying seniors through its Elderly Nutrition Program. Qualified individuals are those age 60 or older who earn a monthly income of no more than $2,096 a month for a one-person household or no more than $2,823 a month for a two-person household. The coupons can be redeemed at participating farmers market locations throughout Saratoga County.

Last year, the Department distributed 3,325 coupons valued at $16,625. Saratoga County seniors redeemed 2,219 of these coupons, which provided them with a total of $11,095 in fresh, local produce to support their health and nutrition. 2022 is the most recently completed season for which statistics are available.

Saratoga County Board of Supervisors Chairman Theodore T. Kusnierz, Jr. (Moreau) said, “The Seniors Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program not only helps our low-income seniors access fresh, locally grown produce, but it also supports our local farmers, which are a vital part of the Saratoga County economy. ”

The Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) is designed to provide low-income seniors with access to locally grown fruits, vegetables, and cut herbs; increase the consumption of agricultural commodities through farmers’ markets.

Mayor Kim Deserves Our Support

We are in grave danger when we see “Proud Boys” on our local streets, and the national GOP bending over backwards to accommodate the worst right-wing saboteurs. Remember that in Saratoga’s last mayoral election, the Republican candidate would not even acknowledge that Joe Biden was President. Little has changed; deceptive texts are falsely claiming that a crime wave exists in Saratoga Springs. The facts say otherwise. Guess what major party’s modus operandi is fearmongering.

Despite much disinformation, Mayor Kim has accomplished a considerable amount, ranging from expanding workforce housing to securing a homeless shelter. Yet for me, the most important achievement is the creation of a local civilian review board. This feat speaks to a profoundly American ideal, that the law pertains to everyone equally. It includes not just civilians but also those brave individuals charged with enforcing it. I support the police over those who commit criminal acts, with police who cross the line included in the latter. That so few police do validate their professionalism and integrity. Nevertheless, the rule of law pertains to all. 

In a very contentious time, Mayor Kim courageously embraced the tough issues that have long needed to be confronted. He deserves our support.

John Stafford for the Office of Mayor 

I wish to go on record with proud enthusiasm, as personally endorsing John Stafford for the office of Mayor of Saratoga Springs.

I have been a resident for 12 years, and currently serve as president of Birch Run, Phase 1, Homeowners Association. John functions as our Professional Administrator and has held this position for many years.

I have consistently been impressed with his dedication to the responsibilities of this position. He is rapidly responsive to requests for information, service, etc., and always deals congenially with residents of our neighborhood. I have found him to be honest, reliable, and willing to work, without complaint, the long hours that are often needed. Most importantly, John consistently exhibits great personal integrity, and sincerely wishes to be of greater service to our community.

If these qualities are brought to the office of the Mayor, I am extremely confident that Saratoga Springs will be well served.
