at the Habitat ReStore 333 W. 79th, KCMO 
(one block east of 79th and Wornall - SEE MAP BELOW)  
on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, Dec- April.  
The indoor market dates coincide with the 
Waldo Business Association's "Waldo Wednesdays" 
when they promote business specials and special events, 
like the Market.

The next market - a holiday market -  is Dec 21st
from 2:00pm - 6:30pm
at 303 W 79th St, KCMO 
map it at http://g.co/maps/mutvs


INDOOR WALDO FARMERS' MINI-MARKET

January - April markets will also have 2:00pm - 6:30pm hours.


We are looking for vegetable and honey vendors in particular. Vegetable and Meat producers must
 

• Be members of and grow according to the guidelines of the Kansas City Food Circle (SEE: http://KCFoodCircle.org/docs/membership/ProducerPledges.pdf),
  
  
• provide documentation that they are in transition to being USDA certified,
  
  
• be already USDA certified,
  
  
• or be Certified Naturally Grown
  
  
• Other growing conditions may be considered under limited circumstances.

Each space is approximately 8'-10' wide and about 5 feet deep - essentially room for one table and some storage. The vending fee is very reasonable. Determination of your participation month-by-month, based on available produce is ok, however a consistent presence builds better customer support.

Contact me to reserve your space or to ask questions:
