Topeka ? Low-income and elderly Kansans can use their electronic benefit transfer cards as well as other assistance payments to buy groceries at the farmers markets in Lawrence and Wichita, state officials said.

The wireless point of sale devices are at the farmers markets to allow the use of the food stamp EBT, Vision cards, and debit and credit cards, the agency said. Through the EBT cards, recipients can receive tokens to purchase eligible food items.

The downtown Lawrence Farmers Market, 824 N.H., is open 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturdays, and in the 1000 block of Vermont Street from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.
