This month, the Senior Produce Program returned to the Caldwell Farm to Fork Market - providing fresh produce for free to seniors. Vegetables, fruits and eggs aren't the only perks for those participating: the community is too.

Lindsey McConnell-Soong, the Health Equity Director for the University of Idaho and coordinator for the Senior Produce Program joined Idaho Matters to talk more.
