(Kansas City MO) – City Market is proud to participate in National Farmers Market Week (NFMW) from Sunday, August 3 through Sunday, August 10, with a weeklong celebration of all the benefits farmers markets bring to the community: access to fresh, healthy food, support for local agriculture, economic opportunity, and the human connections that keep our local food system strong.
Organized by the Farmers Market Coalition, NFMW highlights the essential role markets play in building resilient local food economies and promoting equity, sustainability, and community well-being.
“Our Farmers Market plays a vital role in both the physical and mental health of our community,” said Paula Stocker, Farmers Market Manager at City Market. “It’s not only an abundant source of fresh healthy food, but also it provides a place for people from all parts of Kansas City, the region, and the country to connect.”
City Market is home to the largest and most diverse farmers market in the region, operating every weekend year-round and featuring a wide variety of growers, makers, and small food businesses.
City Market proudly accepts SNAP benefits (EBT) and participates in a local matching program that provides up to $25 in additional tokens per market day to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables. These programs help make healthy, local food more affordable while boosting local farm income.
