Greetings all. I was wondering if there is a good farmers market in the KC metro area. We live in western Shawnee, but are willing to travel for a good one.
Thanks so much.

The two best farmeers markets are downtown at the city market, and in Old Overland park! There are a few others around town (one at Barstow and once in a while, where the T-bones play).

S.,
There is a great Farmer's Market Overland Park. I think its open on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Downtown KC, the Rivermarket area has a great one!
I know there's one in Merriam, but I don't know when its open. I'm guessing Saturday mornings, but I'm sure you could go to Merriam's city website and find out. Shawnee used to have one at its city hall, but I don't know if it does any more.

I have to agree, the City Market, in the River-key. It has been there for years.
Downtown Overland Park has one on Wed's and Sat's-- we've enjoyed going-- you can find more info on the OP city website
I live in Downtown Overland Park, and I have been a few times to the Farmer's Market here. It is nice... beautiful flowers and lots of honey. The produce has never excited me.
If you dont mind traveling... the Farmer's Market in Lawrence is incredible. I cant remember which day they have it... like Tuesdays and Saturdays or something. Lots of jelly's, flowers, honey, produce... etc.
Let us know what you discover!
Here is some more information, I just found...
The one in River Market is a lot of fun, but it doesn't have a lot of organic produce if that's important to you. I had asked a couple of the vendors where there produce came from and they said California. Well, I can get that at the grocery store. There is an all organic one off of Redbridge and Holmes in KCMO. There is also one in Brookside that's all organic, although it is a little spendy. These are both on Saturdays.
We love going to the one downtown. The City Market. It's always fun and you never know what kind of booths will be there.

I think the best one in Johnson County is the Overland Park one in downtown Overland Park. It's open Wedenesdays and Saturdays (not sure about Sundays).

City Market is great. Merriam and Overland Park also have very good one, as well.
I love going to the one in Downtown Overland Park. I used to live right by there and my son and I would walk down there every Saturday morning in the summer. I personally like it because it's on a smaller scale but with great produce.
The Rivermarket in downtown is wonderful.
