AgriMissouri™ Farmers’ Markets Map
|
AgriMissouri™ is excited to be able to show all Missouri Farmers’ Markets on
the map below. Consumers can search for a farmers’ market in their local region
by clicking on the map below. Any farmers’ market that is an AgriMissouri™ member
will have a hyper link to their web site or contact information. For farmers’
markets without web sites, visit the AgriMissouri™ Buyer’s Guide
to find more information including location, day(s) and time open.
Food Safety Workshops
AgriMissouri, the Missouri Farmers’ Market Association and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services sponsored Food Safety Workshops throughout the state in February and March. Workshops were led by staff from the Department of Health and Senior Services.
Farmers, producers and market managers who attended the workshops found them to be very helpful and informational. Realizing that not everyone could attend the workshops, the presentations are linked below. Questions can be directed to agrimo@mda.mo.gov.

Farmers’ Market season is in full swing as summer kicks off.
The Missouri Farmers’ Market Directory contains detailed information about Missouri's farmers’ markets. The farmers’ market is a great place to find homegrown
tomatoes, berries, potatoes, green beans and many other fresh, local products. AgriMissouri™
encourages everyone to visit their local farmers’ market. To learn more information about the
farmers’ market in your area visit the Missouri Farmers Market Directory.
We have updated the Harvest Calendar so farmers' market visitors can determine products available throughout the season.
