I’ve discussed Community Supported Agriculture and Growing and Storing Your Own Produce, and today I’ll talk about attending the local Kansas City Farmers’ Markets.

Did you know there are over 30 Farmers’ Markets in the Kansas City Area?

And with that big of a selection, you can find a market to fit your location, style, and produce needs.

My number one tip for Kansas City Farmers’ Markets? – Attend the same Farmers’ Markets AND get to know the Farmers.

It isn’t enough to just buy from a Farmers’ Markets anymore. More and more often, there are “farmers” who purchase wholesale fruits and vegetables from semi-trucks and repackage them as locally grown. And when that happens, you might as well just buy your produce at the grocery store.

Start going to the same Farmers’ Markets week after week and talk to the farmers. Introduce yourself. Tell them what you are interested in. You will find out pretty quick who is out in the fields with their crops and who is buying off the truck. (And if your tomatoes have stickers on them – they aren’t local or pesticide free.)

Other tips for Farmers’ Markets.

Go Early. The best selection is first thing in the morning. And if the produce is a HOT item (like Sweet Corn), there is a chance it can be sold out by 9:00 am.

Go Late. However, the best deals are found late in the afternoon. The farmer’s are ready to go home and are more willing to deal.

Bring Your Own Bags. They will give you plastic bags, but they are uncomfortable for shopping. A good cotton reuseable bag makes your morning enjoyable.

Inspect Your Produce. There is no return policy. Take some time and inspect your produce and make sure you are getting the best quality for your price.

Bring Cash. There are no credit card machines. And small bills are appreciated.

Enjoy the Atmosphere. Every Farmers’ Market has its own culture. Enjoy it. Some have live music. Some have street vendor food. Some have goods for sale, in addition to food. Relax. Take it in.
