Weekly Featured Farmers' Markets - WEDNESDAYS in Kansas City


WESTPORT PLAZA FARMERS' MARKET

at Westport & Wyoming

WEDNESDAY Evening
Local Food in Kansas City

The expert growers are bringing in the stars of summer. This stuff won't be available locally for long.

Make up some pesto with fresh basil.

Can up those tomatoes with some heirloom beauties.

Whip up some lively salsa.

Stock up on eggs, meat and preserves.

You can get it all on Wednesday as you listen to great local music and meet the finest neighbors around.

Green goods...
(some with mystery colors inside!)


Have you tried HONEY as a secret ingredient to make any good dish taste delicious? When you're not sure what to add to spruce up your meal, make it some of Miller's Raw Tree Honey.

Les Miller will be here at the market to tell you all about his bees.
You can also get cut flowers, safe bug repellent, wood bowls or vases, natural fertilizer and information about how to care for your own plants from the experts.

So, make the trip to Westport Road and Wyoming Street, just 3 blocks east of State Line. Get the freshest of local, sustainably grown produce!

See you this Wednesday for the best in local, sustainably grown food!


Take a walk, stroll, ride, or drive to the
