Downtown Lee's Summit Farmers Market — Local services in Lee's Summit

I really wanted to give this a 5 star review. I’m a long time LS resident and my daughter and I both love farmer’s markets, but sadly it was very disappointing. We went the weekend of the big opening, so hopefully it will get better and they are just working out the kinks. The space is beautiful and you can tell much work and money was put into it.

Hopefully with a little time it...

Like I said I go every Saturday and sometimes on Wednesday if I'm not working. Always...

Plenty of friendly vendors with great variety. From what I could tell, they only take cash, I didn't see any "credit card coins" like I have at some other farmers markets, but I may have just missed it since we came came prepared with cash. (though some vendors were approved for food stamps from...
