This is the last Friday of the
season. Starting in November, we will be open every Saturday from 9 to noon in the pavilion – and, in addition, to the farmers market we’ll have our Christkindlmarket featuring artists and artisans selling their locally-made goods.
We’ll be glad of the sidings on the pavilion with the cool weather moving in this weekend. Our farmers have been busy placing row covers in the fields to save the crops from freeze damage. High tunnel crops are protected as well. We should have a LOT of produce, including pumpkins, at the market this weekend.
On
Friday the Webb City Farmers Market
is open from 11 to 2 under the pavilion at the Main Street entrance to King
Jack Park. Lunch, served from 11 to 1, is all-you-can-eat chili, plus one drink
and a brownie for $5. Friday’s Cooking
for a Cause will benefit the Tri-County Cerebral Palsy Center. The Granny Chicks perform Friday. Marlee's Creamery will be here Friday after an absence of almost a month!In addition to tables loaded with fresh local produce, there will be farm fresh eggs, baked goods, beef, chicken, lamb, pork, freshly roasted coffee beans, energy bars.

On
Saturday, the market is open from 9
to noon under the pavilion. Breakfast
