Brookside Farmer's Market — Local services in Kansas City

This is by far my favorite farmers' market in the Kansas City area. Almost all the vendors here farm with organic practices (though official certification is often too expensive for these family farms), and their produce shows it. I've never before seen such a bounty of beautiful vegetables! As soon as I walk into the market my mouth starts watering, and I have to limit how much cash I bring — I can't help but spend everything in my wallet! This is not the least expensive farmers' market in the area, but you certainly get what you pay for. Besides, the vendors often throw in something extra if you make a big purchase. Besides produce, the market has vendors selling eggs, bread, cheese, coffee, and organic meat, as well as some hand-crafted items. But come for the produce — your eyes and taste buds...

One of the easiest farmer's markets to navigate. Small enough to be able to swing by briefly. Large enough to offer a variety of choices. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable. It's very helpful that the market itself accepts cards and will sell tokens which can be used to purchase from vendors who don't accept cards. Near to the Roasterie, a trip to the market makes for a nice weekend...

So many local growers and amazing produce. When my boyfriend and I are off on the same days we love to go grab some breakfast, a coffee, and load up on some delicious fruits and veggies. The people with stands are always kind and they err towards the side of sustainability which is always fantastic! Always a good choice. If you get a chance go by! Also lots of families and pupper pets. Doggos...
