Ever find yourself wishing you could eat healthier, but not sure where to start? One great path to healthier eating is to start with fresh and healthy ingredients. In Hancock County, our new Healthy Harvest program—a partnership of 漢考克健康, 健康365， 和 Brandywine Creek Farms—is helping to bring fresh local vegetables, fruits, and other produce to residents throughout the summer and fall. The program runs through Monday, October 15.
Each “stop” on the Healthy Harvest schedule lasts four hours. Fresh, low-cost produce can be purchased. Healthy recipes that use the provided ingredients are available. And those who face financial barriers to healthy eating can receive a voucher*—good for one large bag per week of fresh produce, at just $1 for the bag.
*You can get a voucher from your Hancock physician, or other social agencies, such as WIC.
The prepacked $1 bags may include a variety of the following:
- Fresh corn
- Green beans
- Tomatoes
- Cucumbers
- Squash
- Zucchini
- Kale
- Peppers
- 高麗菜
- 洋蔥
- Indiana melons
- And more, depending on the week’s harvest
Cashiers accept cash only.

Healthy Harvest Voucher Guidelines
You may not request substitutions to the bag upon pickup. However, you may choose to donate any unwanted items. Additional voucher guidelines include the following:
- One voucher* may be used per family, per week.
- You must present the paper voucher at your initial visit to Healthy Harvest. Patient demographic information will then be entered into the database, and the individual will receive a Healthy Harvest scan card to be used for the remainder of the Healthy Harvest season.
- Only one card will be issued per household.
- For lost/stolen cards, one replacement will be issued at no charge. Any subsequent replacement cards will incur a cost to the user. The old account will be deactivated.
- Additional items may be purchased on site at the affordable market rate.
- Voucher bags are “first come, first serve” for the first 400 individuals per week.
*You can get a voucher from your Hancock physician, or other social agencies, such as WIC.
