If you haven't been to our Farmers Market here in Fort Scott, you're really missing a treat!
It's a real Farmers Market with real farmers. These folks work hard on their farms in this oppressive heat day after day in order to bring you and me beautiful produce, eggs, baked goods, and more!
It's fun to talk to the Gannon family about their adventures raising goats, pigs, chickens, cows and kids. We've enjoyed their beef, pork, chicken and eggs and anxiously await a trip to the farm for goat cheese.
Ronnie Brown is known as "the pumpkin man" but brings lots of other wonderful things to the market as well.
Mary Corpstein works her magic with plants, handmade rugs and delicious vegetables. You may recognize her from her other gig as a helpful hardware gal at Mayco Ace.
Our Farmers Market is open at Skubitz Plaza on Tuesdays from 4 pm to 7 pm, and on Saturdays from 8 am until noon. Don't forget, when the market is open we're open too, so you can get your Saturday morning coffee for your stroll around the market. On Tuesdays we buy something great from the market and invite you to come to the store for a taste-Tasty Tuesdays!
These hard-working farmers are our friends and neighbors. When we buy locally grown produce from them we are supporting our own southeast Kansas economy (the money stays here!) and not using oil, gas and other resources to bring food in from other states and countries.
I understand that tomatoes and corn are coming very soon!
