Our Roots
The greatest strength of the Brookside Farmers Market continues to be our neighborhood regulars and their devoted support. They return every Saturday morning as a parking lot springs to life with farmers and makers, neighbors and musicians, bursting with a bounty of locally grown and produced food.
A different kind of farmers’ market
Not just another produce market, the Brookside Farmers’ Market is a community. The market is a bridge between Kansas Citians and their local food source. All of our vendors are the actual farmers and makers. You will find no middle man here. Those who grow, raise or make every product are the ones who sell it to you directly. Everything sources from within 125 miles of Kansas City. Most importantly, our vendors are committed to practices that steward our soil, water, and natural resources. Here are a few other things that makes Brookside Farmers’ Market stand out.
