(MSC News)--Fresh produce and honey at a reduced price for eligible senior Kansans is set to start through the Kansas Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program.

According to a release from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, the program, which provides coupons for the reduced-price purchases, will begin Monday, July 14 at participating farmers' markets across the state.

Eligible seniors, those 60 years or older, or at least 55 years old and a member of an Indian Tribal Organization, with an annual gross household income at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level will receive $50 in coupons.

The release explains that eligible seniors can apply until September 30, but are encouraged to apply soon as coupon stock is limited.

Eligible foods are defined in the release as “fresh, nutritious, unprepared, fruits and vegetables, locally produced honey, and cut herbs that are grown in Kansas.”
