Farmers & Artists Market on the Square

About Us

The Harrisonville Farmers Market was established in 2013 to help bring focus back to the historic Harrisonville Square and to provide local gardeners and farmers an opportunity to make their produce available for sale.

Since 2013, we’ve continued to grow and expand the Market to showcase the homegrown and handmade products that citizens of Harrisonville and our surrounding areas have to offer.

Information for Customers

Today along with fresh, locally produced fruits and vegetables you can also find farm raised eggs and pasture raised meat products. A variety of baked goods as well as jams, jellies and honey are also regular Market staples.

Additionally, you can find a unique variety of handcrafted items and heritage arts like soaps, lotions, jewelry, household items and even treats for pets!

The Market is located on the historic Harrisonville Square. You’ll find us on Lexington Street, between Wall and Independence. 

The Market is open on Saturday mornings from 8:00 a.m. to Noon, June through September. We also set up at the Log Cabin Festival the first Saturday of October. 

Please check our Facebook page for weather related updates. Weather that includes high-wind, lightning, severe weather or another threat may cause a shut down of the market for the day or a change to the normal hours. 

We strongly encourage vendors of eligible products to participate in both the Senior Nutritional Farmers Market voucher program.

Vendors who are enrolled in this program will display an informational placard. 

For more information, please see the informational flyer.
