Find a wide selection of produce options for all your needs including numerous lettuce and greens varieties to perfectly complement the Saucy Salad Day theme. Grow your own salad ingredients with vegetable plants ready to transplant and obtain all the gardening advice you need from greenhouses and from the University of Missouri Master Gardeners.
While at the Festival, consider those who are less fortunate in our community; either bring a non-perishable food item or purchase additional fresh produce and make a contribution at the Harvesters Food Collection Bin. Harvesters will be on site to accept public food donations during festival hours. There are even more ways to enjoy the Farmers’ Market; purchase a book at the Friends of the Kansas City Public Library’s Used Book Sale, and enjoy additional shopping with more than thirty City Market Merchants who offer a variety of gifts, flowers and specialty foods. Farmers’ Market hours are 6:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. and festival hours are 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Additional Festivals will take place the first Saturday of each month. Be sure to mark your calendar for these upcoming City Market events:
July 3 - Twisted Tomato Day September 4 Pepper Party
August 7 - Crazy Corn Day October 2 Harvest Festival
