(KNZA)--Healthy foods could be had at a reduced cost for local seniors, courtesy of a state program encouraging use of farmers’ markets.

The products must be sold by authorized farmers at local participating farmers’ markets now through November 1st.
The checks, provided in $5 increments, can be picked up at the Northeast Kansas Area Agency on Aging office in Hiawatha.
