The Kansas Department of Health and Environment announces the Kansas Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program is back for 2025.

 The program begins again July 14th, providing eligible seniors with coupons to purchase fresh produce and honey at participating farmers' markets across the state.

 Seniors are eligible if they are 60 years or older, or if they are at least 55 years old and a member of an Indian Tribal Organization. Eligible seniors must also have an annual gross household income at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level.

 Eligible seniors can apply for the KSFMNP until September 30, but are encouraged to apply soon. Seniors who are eligible will receive $50 in coupons.  These coupons can be used to purchase local produce and local honey at participating farmers markets from authorized vendors, which will be identified with signage showing they are authorized to accept the coupons.

 More information about eligibility requirements and how to apply or where to use the KSFMNP coupons can be found here.
