MAPLE Act

This bill would add maple syrup to the list of foods that low-income seniors can buy through a government program called the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program. That program gives grants to states, which then provide coupons or vouchers to low-income seniors to buy fresh, locally grown foods like fruits, vegetables, herbs, and honey at farmers' markets, roadside stands, and similar places. Under this bill, maple syrup would be added to that list of eligible foods.
