Hooterville Garden Center, at 12165 S. Topeka Ave. in Carbondale, was known for tree-ripened peaches, just-picked berries, and orchard apples sold straight off the lot. The garden center itself has since closed. The address now operates as Hooterville Flea Market, a separate business — worth confirming directly if you're headed out expecting a farm stand.

Topeka

This is the library-hosted Monday market at 1515 SW 10th Ave. in Topeka — the same market known as the Monday Farmers Market at Your Library, held in the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library parking lot near 10th and Washburn.

Every Monday morning from May through early October, vendors set up in the parking lot of the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library at 1515 SW 10th Ave., selling locally grown produce, farm-fresh eggs, baked goods, cut flowers, and bedding plants. The market runs 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. and grew out of the library's Capital City Wellness initiative, aimed at getting downtown Topeka workers eating better. Kids get a free activity sheet at each visit. Call the library at 785-580-4495 for current vendor lists.

Shawnee

Shawnee

This listing traces back to a Saturday market the Kansas City T-Bones ran inside their ballpark concourse at 1800 Village West Parkway, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. through October, offering shelter from sun and rain plus indoor bathrooms and electricity most markets don't have. The T-Bones folded in 2016 and the stadium is now Legends Field, used mainly for concerts. Nothing found confirms a farmers market still runs there — confirm locally before visiting.

Lenexa

Lenexa's market operates on the bottom floor of the parking garage at the Lenexa Civic Campus, 17201 W. 87th Street Parkway — Saturdays 8 a.m. to noon and Tuesdays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Everything sold is raised, grown, or made within 250 miles: produce, meat, eggs, baked goods, flowers, and body care products, with live music and yard games running alongside the stalls. SNAP and Double Up Food Bucks are both accepted.

Spring Hill

Spring Hill's Saturday market runs roughly 7:30 to 11:30 a.m., June through September, at 406 W. Nichols. Vendors — all from within 50 miles and selling only what they grow or make themselves — bring fruit and vegetables in season, herbs, plants, cut flowers, honey, jams, baked goods, ironwork, and even chair massage. It's a homegrown-only market, not a resale operation, which keeps the selection tied to what's actually in season locally.

Riverview Farm Market grows its own produce on 7 acres near 78th and Riverview in Kansas City, Kansas, rotating three separate plantings to keep the stand stocked June through October, Monday to Saturday, 1 to 6 p.m. The family has run the operation for more than 50 years with help from three part-time workers who plant, pick, and wash everything sold. You can see the crops growing in the field behind the stand. Call 913-299-6184.

Topeka

Capitol Midweek sets up at 10th and Jackson, on the south side of the Kansas Statehouse, every Wednesday morning starting at 7:30, May through October.

Expect seasonal produce, dairy like cheese and eggs, fresh herbs, and cut flowers.

Kansas City

KCK Farmers Market sets up Thursday mornings from 7:30, June through late October, at Campus Boulevard and Argentine Lane in Kansas City, Kansas. Vendors sell organic produce, specialty meats, honey, edible flowers, herbs, grains, and artisan breads — a smaller, weekday counterpart to the organization's larger Saturday markets elsewhere in Wyandotte County. Credit cards, SNAP, EBT, and the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program are all accepted.
