Buyer’s Guide

The Overland Park Farmers Market gives shoppers access to the freshest local in-season produce, meats, cheeses and prepared foods.

Vendors are required to label all products with one of the following terms, meant to help you understand the differences in origins of products they bring to the Farmers’ Market:

• USDA-certified organically grown: Grown by a USDA-Certified organic farm.
• Homegrown: Planted, raised and harvested by the farm vendor on their farm or property.
• Locally purchased: Purchased by the farm vendor directly from a farmer who has planted, raised and harvested the produce within a 150-mile radius of the Farmers’ Market.
• Regionally purchased: Purchased by the farm vendor directly from a farmer or auction house outside a 150-mile radius of the Farmers’ Market.
• Warehouse: Purchased by the farm vendor from a wholesale supplier and/or large manufacturer.

Signs at each vendor’s space will explain the type of produce, the price of the item, the origin of regional produce and the name of the warehouse where the item was purchased.
