Independence Farmers Market at the Uptown Market
The Independence Farmers Market offers the freshest produce, plants, jams, jellies and more in Independence. Come explore the selection or make a beeline for your favorite vendor. Either way, we'd love to see you at the Independence Farmers Market.
The Independence Farmers Market offers a wide selection of locally grown meat and produce, homemade sweets and treats, and hand-made crafts, all of which have been grown or made within a 100-mile radius of Independence. As a growers-only market, produce and products that are shipped in or purchased at auction are not allowed.
Our location at the Independence Uptown Market allows the market to operate nearly year-round, with a May-through-October summer season and a December-through-April winter season. The Independence Uptown Market includes a covered, open-air pavilion and an indoor pavilion, with restrooms available for public use.

Once approval is complete, we will notify our vendors and customers that tokens will be available. The city is also working with the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) on the Double Up Food Bucks.

Once approval through the USDA is finalized, tokens will only be available to those who use an EBT card for SNAP/Food Stamps. All other customers must pay vendors directly.
