2016 was an amazing year for the market in downtown Independence. We had a total of 35 vendors this year, averaging 17 vendors per market. Most of our vendors sold out nearly every market. We had a wonderful variety of produce and products, truly too many to mention. We also had musical entertainment, much to the delight of our customers.Our plans are to open in mid May for 2017. We end "officially" at the end of July, and extend on a week to week basis through August.This is due to availability of local produce. Vendors must live within a 75 mile radius of Independence and either grow/make their own produce/products or have a resellers permit, which means they are selling for someone who meets those requirements. Looking forward to 2017! For further information, call 331-7831. We always welcome new vendors and entertainers! Thanks to the folks who make this such an outstanding Farmers' Market!

It is just getting started. Our community really needs to help it grow. Right now there are only a few vendors. I would love to see it flourish!

Thanks to folks like you Julie! Our market was a great success in 2009 and we are hoping for an even greater 2010. But we need 3 things: vendors, customers and supports! Anyone can be a friend of the market, just ask us how!
