Another sign of Spring! The Brookside Farmers’ Market opens this weekend, Saturday April 14, 2018 for the season. Location is the same: southeast corner of 63rd and Wornall, at Border Star elementary school.
There are many farmers’ markets in the metro area; what makes this one a bit different is that all vendors live within 100 miles of the market and the goods they sell are “organic and sustainable”. Besides fresh herbs, vegetables and flowers, there are various meats for sale, baked goods, snacks, and some vegan/gluten free items. The market accepts KS Vision and MO SNAP forms of payment. It’s helpful if you bring your own bag to the market!
With the crazy weather we’ve had, there may not be an abundance of fresh produce on opening day. However, there is always something tasty to purchase!
Thank you for supporting our local Brookside Farmers’ Market. Hours are 8am-1pm every Saturday through October.
Wouldn’t it be lovely if we had a covered area say where the tennis courts are, that we could use for the brookside farmers markets, art fair, various events throughout the year!!!
I have played music at many farmers markets over the years…Brookside is indeed, a special place with good people.
