Fall Events in Kansas City: Farmer’s Markets

Summer may be coming to an end, but your local farmer’s markets are not. They are a fun thing to do as a couple or a family in Kansas City whether you need some fresh, local produce or arts and crafts from a number of vendors.

With the large variety of markets you can explore on the weekends in the city and metro-area that are open either year round through November or have an indoor area as the seasons change.

And, you’re in luck because we have moved up our brunch service to 9 am on Saturday and Sunday. So, come have our famous chicken and waffles or any one of our delicious brunch menu items (and maybe a flight of mimosas?) before you head out to buy some incredible fresh produce and whatever else your local farmers market offers.
