Hours run 8 a.m. to noon, May 1 through October 31, with an occasional once-a-month winter market when weather allows. It's leashed-pet friendly, a detail the market advertises directly. Call (316) 640-0865 or check the market's Facebook page for the weekly vendor lineup.

Janzen Family Farms east of Newton, Kansas raises 100% grass-fed Angus beef pastured year-round on native prairie, cool-season grasses, winter forage, and stubble fields using regenerative practices — no hormones, antibiotics, or grain.

Harvey County Farmers Market has met in the Old Mill parking lot west of the Breadbasket in Newton, Kansas since 1983.

Newton

Patchwork Farms raises cattle, hogs, chickens and turkeys for farm-fresh meat on its grounds outside Newton, selling vegetable surplus through the summer as it comes in. October brings a u-pick pumpkin patch, and the farm hosts a Christmas open house called Night in the Barn. Hours shift with what's ready to pick, so calling ahead is standard practice here.

Newton

Papa's Pumpkin Patch started when Bob Wachlin was still in high school, growing pumpkins to save up for his first truck.

The 2026 season runs September 12 through October 25, noon to 7 p.m., $8 admission.

Sedgwick

Serenity Farm CSA is a 40-acre organic operation three miles west of I-135 near Sedgwick, run by Brad and Tiffany Dilts and their eight children.

Whitewater

Grace Hill Winery grows its own grapes on 15 acres outside Whitewater and pours eleven wines made entirely from Kansas fruit, ranging from bone-dry reds to sweeter styles for newer wine drinkers.

Moundridge

Moundridge's market sets up at 406 W. Cole St. twice a week from May through September: Tuesdays 5-7 p.m. and Saturdays 8-11 a.m. Vendors bring fresh garden produce, local honey, homemade soaps and lotions, breads, jellies, and jams. It's a small Harvey County market, more grocery run than event, though the double weekly schedule makes it easier to catch than most rural markets.

Moundridge

Elderslie Farm sits on 100 acres near Kechi, Kansas, where George and Katharine Elder make small-batch goat's and cow's milk cheese and run a restaurant, cafe, and market on the same ground. What started in 2010 as blackberries and a vegetable patch has grown into a multi-course prix fixe dinner Thursday through Saturday, a patio breakfast-and-lunch cafe open May through September, and a 24-hour market stocked with prepared food, baked goods, and Kansas honey.

Peabody

Doyle Valley's market runs Saturday mornings, 8 to 10 a.m., Memorial Day through Labor Day, at Santa Fe Park on South Walnut Street in Peabody. It's a short window by design — early enough that produce stays cool, done before the day heats up. The Peabody city office fields questions when the market's own schedule isn't posted.

Whitewater

Regier Orchard has grown apples, peaches and pears in Butler County since 2005. Picking is by appointment only, so call ahead to check what's ready and schedule a time before driving out to Whitewater.

Hillsboro

Vendors start setting up at 4 p.m. every Thursday at Hillsboro's Memorial Park, but nothing sells until the bell rings at 5 — a rule that keeps the opening fair for everyone in line. The market runs Memorial Day through Labor Day and leans into what central Kansas farms actually produce: peaches, watermelon, grass-fed beef, local honey and cheese, plus goat's milk soap and lotion from area makers.

Buhler

The Gaeddert family has designed corn mazes on their Buhler farm since 1999, possibly the first ever cut in Kansas.

On-site concessions include grilled burgers, chili dogs, and funnel cakes.

Cedar Lawn Farm sells fresh eggs, honey from its own hives, and a full run of garden produce — sweet corn, tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, and beans — from a farm stand near McPherson that takes cash only. The property also hosts events in a restored 1889 barn, with onsite lodging and open prairie views for overnight guests.

Towanda

Blackberry Heaven runs a U-pick berry patch outside Towanda, with blueberries ready in June and July and blackberries following from mid-July through late August. Pre-picked berries are also available for anyone who'd rather skip the field work. Like most small berry farms, picking windows shift with the weather — call ahead before driving out to confirm what's ripe.

Old Town Farm & Art Market fills the brick streets of Wichita's Old Town district every Saturday, April through mid-December, with more than 100 vendors — Kansas' largest privately owned farmers market. Hours run 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in warmer months and shift to 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in November and December. Beyond produce and meat, the market mixes in local art, live music, and street performers, and accepts SNAP benefits with produce-matching programs.

Phil's Farm & Butchery started in 1999 with Phil and Lucy raising poultry on pasture in rural Reno County, Kansas, without antibiotics or hormones. The operation is now a USDA-licensed, federally inspected full-service butcher shop with two storefronts — 5303 S. Whiteside Rd. in Hutchinson and 1711 W. Douglas Ave. in Wichita's Delano district — plus a stand at the Wichita Farmers Market at 21st and Ridge. Custom butchering and artisan sausage are specialties alongside their own beef and pork.

McPherson

McPherson County's market runs Saturdays, 7:30 a.m. to noon, from the last Saturday in May through the last Saturday in October at 600 W. Woodside. Local gardeners, bakers, florists, and beekeepers sell herbs, vegetables, baked goods, jams, honey, pecans, meat, eggs, and cut flowers. The K-State Research and Extension office coordinates it.

Buhler's market sets up on Main Street in this small Reno County town, with homemade goods anchoring most tables — jellies, soaps, dog treats, and can cozies alongside seasonal produce. Hours run mid-May through mid-October. Check the Buhler Community Farmers Market Facebook group before heading out, since location and day shift some seasons.

Haven

Haven's market runs the first and third Tuesday of the month starting in July, set up at Engweiler Park near the baseball diamond off 5th Street. It's an open-door market — any vendor selling produce, crafts, or baked goods can show up and claim a spot, no pre-registration required. That keeps the offerings unpredictable week to week, which is part of the appeal in a town this size. Cash is the safest bet, though some vendors take cards.

Burns

Walters Pumpkin Patch has been pulling Kansans out to Burns for fall since 1988, growing 25 of its 70 acres in pumpkins, gourds, squash, and corn. Beyond U-pick pumpkins, there's a corn maze, zip line, jumping pillows, and a haunted cannery tour, plus a snack bar serving pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin chili. The season runs the third weekend of September through early November.
