Farmers Markets near Newton, KS

Newton

Newton pairs its produce stands with an art market — the same Saturday setup at 121 E. 6th St. includes both fresh, locally grown food and work from area artists. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Wichita

Kansas Grown! Farmers Market is Kansas' largest member-owned farmers market, with locations in Wichita and Andover. Its mission is to give area producers a way to market Kansas-grown products while giving shoppers quality goods produced and grown in the state.

Wichita

Colwich

Colwich's market sets up at Veterans Memorial Park, 600 W. Chicago, Wednesday evenings from 5 to 7:30 p.m., June through September. There's no vendor booth fee, and the park has shade trees and ample parking, which keeps the lineup steady — fresh and canned fruits and vegetables, homemade bakery goods, and specialty items. Reach the city directly with vendor questions.

Wichita

ICT Food Rescue began the Upcycle Market in 2023 to showcase local businesses to provide fresh fruits, produce and other KS made products in a food dessert. The Upcycle Market will provide education about food recovery in the Wichita area and gather the community.

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.
