Senior Applicants

The Kansas Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program provides coupons to help low-income seniors purchase fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh herbs, and local honey at farmers markets, roadside stands and farm stores.

Eligibility

To qualify, you must be at least 60 years of age, or 55 years of age and a member of an Indian Tribal Organization, and meet the following income guidelines.
